Harry Maguire was the unlikely saviour for Manchester United against Porto in the Europa League.

The Red Devils looked like they were winning comfortably thanks to Marcus Rashford’s brilliance early in the first half.

The English attacker started the scoring for his team and then provided his teammate Rasmus Hojlund a brilliant assist to double his team’s lead.

They were aided by Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa and his poor performance but it looked like Erik ten Hag had managed to get out of a difficult situation at the club.

However, Porto had other ideas as the Portuguese side scored three goals to take a 3-2 lead.

The poor defensive performance from Man United, with Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez at the centre of it, allowed Porto to come back into the match.

Maguire was sent on late in the game and the centre-back managed to rescue a point for his team and provide some relief to Ten Hag.

The England international has disclosed what happened in the Man United dressing room after the match.

He told TNT Sports, as reported by Manchester Evening News:

“After every match, you analyse and speak amongst yourselves. The manager spoke, a few members of staff spoke and the players spoke as well.

“It’s pretty normal and I’ve been in plenty of dressing rooms when you have a chat and speak about what you can do better. I think when you go 2-0 up away from home at a place like this you’ve got to be a little bit more solid and more secure. There were far too many gaps and crosses coming into the box.
