Ian Ladyman has described Harry Maguire as Manchester United's 'spiritual leader' and lumped praise on the defender for his resolve fighting his way back into Erik ten Hag's side on Mail Sport's It's All Kicking Off podcast.
The defender was stripped of the captain's armband by the Dutch manager over the summer with the club seemingly intent to move on the player they purchased in 2019.
But amid a slew of squad injuries, Maguire was able to fight for a spot in the starting XI and has become a regular fixture under Ten Hag this season, distinguishing himself in United's backline during a difficult campaign.
