Louis Saha had high praise for Manchester United star for his stellar performance vs Aston Villa
Manchester United star, Harry Maguire won MOTM for his performance against Aston Villa and Louis Saha was quick to appreciate the player. The game against the Villans might’ve been one of the toughest games of the second half for the Red Devils.
It was a header by 30-year-old Maguire. which put the ball in front of Rasmus Hojlund, the Danish striker did not miss the mark and struck true to put United ahead by one. However, despite the early lead the game was far from over.
Aston Villa did a wonderful job of applying pressure on the Red Devils’ defensive line but were ultimately too weak to come away with the win.

Harry Maguire putting in a man of the match performance on Sunday, despite not playing all the time this year, was enormous because he showed great spirit,
Saha went on to say that leaders like Maguire are very important in football. The 30-year-old has seen his share of struggles at United. However, he has never let it affect his performance on the pitch.
In fact, after almost being sold during the summer of last year, the English defender has become one of the most consistent players that Erik ten Hag has. Maybe he should try and sell Marcus Rashford, who has been inconsistent for most of his career.
