"Right now he is the best player of Manchester United” - Patrice Evra makes claim about 30-year-old Red Devils star
Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra believes that centre-back Harry Maguire is currently the best player at the Old Trafford-based club.
United are currently going through a tough phase in the Premier League as well as the UEFA Champions League. Erik ten Hag's men are currently on the seventh spot in the Premier League table with 24 points after 14 appearances.
In the Champions League, the Red Devils need a miracle to advance to the Round of 16. They will need to beat Bayern Munich in their final group stage match while hoping for a draw in the other encounter between Galatasaray and FC Copenhagen.
However, during the tough times, former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has lauded Harry Maguire for his current form. He said (via UtdPlug):
"For me right now he (Harry Maguire) is the best player of Manchester United.”
After being relegated to the bench for the majority of last season, the 30-year-old has found a new lease of life in the ongoing campaign since the injury to Lisandro Martinez. He has made 15 appearances for United this season, grabbing a goal and an assist.
