England international started the season on the bench but was on the pitch from the 1^st minute in the last 8 matches in all tournaments for the Red Devils and admits that his decision to fight for his place and not leave the team has paid off.

“I appeared in a few matches in the past campaign, 16 or 17 starts, and I felt like I did great in the matches I played in; I just didn’t play as many as I would have anticipated,” Maguire admitted.
