Manchester United have looked much more convincing than they did in their last match in the Europa League. They have managed to keep the opposition from finding the net and have taken the lead in the match so far,
Anthony Martial’s 42nd minute goal from the spot have given them the all important goal as United look to gather 3 points on the road. At the time of writing, United have held on to their one goal lead after an hour into the match.
Maguire’s start to his career as United captain could very well start with a win. However, he may never forget about that coin toss.
