Man Utd captain Maguire wary of Calvert-Lewin showdown against Everton

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is wary facing Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin tonight.

Calvert-Lewin has already surpassed his tally from last season with 16 goals in 23 games this campaign.

The 23-year-old has proved himself a handful for Premier League defences with his hold-up play and he travels to Old Trafford full of confidence after scoring in Everton's 2-1 win at Leeds in midweek.

"In the Premier League you play against different types of strikers week in, week out so you know every striker is going to bring something different, and everyone has strengths and everyone has weaknesses," Maguire told United Review.

"I know Dom from our time with England and he's very physical and a handful, and we'll need to be right on our game to keep him quiet.

"If we manage to do that, it will be a big part for us in, hopefully, taking steps towards the victory."
