Manchester United‘s Harry Maguire embraced his iconic fan chant after scoring the winning goal in their 1-0 triumph against FC Copenhagen in the Champions League, reported by GOAL. The victory kept United's hopes alive for a spot in the last-16 of the competition, with Maguire playing a pivotal role.

Maguire, often affectionately referred to for the line “his head's f***** massiiive” in a fan song from his Leicester City days, made headlines by nodding in the decisive goal. After the match, he shared a photo of his goal celebration on his Instagram story, accompanied by the familiar chant. The song, a tribute to the defender's aerial prowess, has been embraced by United supporters, becoming a symbol of Maguire's resilience and fan connection.

The victory came at a crucial time for Maguire, who had faced challenges earlier in the season, including being demoted in the defensive lineup and losing the club captaincy. However, his recent performances, notably in the win against Sheffield United and now against Copenhagen, have displayed his proactive approach in possession and confidence in defensive duels.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag praised Harry Maguire's proactive style, highlighting his improved passing, defensive aggression, and confidence against opponents. With a solid midweek performance under his belt, Maguire is anticipated to feature alongside Raphael Varane in Sunday's highly anticipated Manchester derby against Manchester City. Maguire's goal and his ability to embrace the fans' chant have not only endeared him further to the supporters but also showcased his determination to rise above challenges and contribute significantly to the team's success.
