Manchester United defender Harry Maguire feels “proud” of his current career position following his recent improvement in performance. Maguire delivered an outstanding performance in United’s FA Cup third round victory over Arsenal on Sunday, helping secure a penalty shootout win that earned them a fourth round matchup against his former club Leicester City next month. The England international has begun each of United’s last five games, greatly benefiting from head coach Ruben Amorim’s choice to transform United into a team with three central defenders. Maguire consistently performed well for England in a three-at-the-back setup, and his recent displays, especially against Arsenal over the weekend, have received significant acclaim. The 31-year-old, who has recently exceeded 600 senior football appearances, is happy with his current situation. “Yes, I’m really enjoying it,” Maguire stated in the latest issue of Inside United. “More than 600 games is quite a lot, to be honest.” I take care of myself both on and off the field. I strive to do everything correctly. “Clearly, I sustained a minor injury this season, but I believe I put in a lot of effort during my recovery and returned feeling very fit, fresh, and ready both mentally and physically. “Yes, I’m in a really good position and have been for the past 18 months, so I’m proud of my progress. I take pride in being part of this club. It’s a great privilege and a significant responsibility, and I just want to concentrate on the team and create more joyful memories for our fans.
