Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag hailed the performance of matchwinner Harry Maguire.

The defender struck the only goal of the game as United defeated Champions League opponents FC Copenhagen.

Afterwards, Ten Hag enthused: “I think so, he is playing more proactive in possession.

“Stepping in, passing vertical, defending on the front foot and also stepping in, passing vertical.

“Defending on the front foot, he is also stepping in and playing forward. Very confident in the duels, I think he is dominating.

“Also in the right moments, he is showing his aggression against the opponents. Then, you see he is also rewarded because of his heading.

“I have to say it is a great pass from Christian [Eriksen], but it was a great finish."
