Stats prove Maguire's aerial dominance

The Manchester United skipper enjoyed an incredible game at Goodison Park last season, in a 1-1 draw, and was just as effective this time around in helping the Reds head into the international break on a high with a superb 3-1 success.

So it is little surprise that he is ranking so highly, overall, when compared to other players in the Premier League, due to his ability to win aerial battles, even against taller opponents.

The England international is joint-top of the table on FBRef.com for aerials won - registering 88.2 per cent, the same as Chelsea centre-back Kurt Zouma.
