Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp wants to see Manchester United defender Harry Maguire played up front after his heroics against Lyon in the Europa League.
Harry Maguire
Fast forward to 2025 and, although it’s been a turbulent campaign for the Red Devils, Maguire is one of the leaders in the dressing room after emerging as the hero in a jaw-dropping win over Lyon to progress to the Europa League semi-finals.
It was an extraordinary contest that United led by two goals thanks to Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot before conceding four, only to turn it around by scoring three extra time goals in the space of seven minutes.
After the nine-goal thriller at Old Trafford, United will prepare to face Athletic Bilbao for a place in the eagerly-awaited final.
deserves a lot of credit for completely turning his career around at Manchester United. There was a time the experienced centre-back was mocked as a joke figure, a scapegoat because he made some mistakes, and eventually stripped of the captain’s armband.

Ruben Amorim’s side took total control in the first half against Lyon before appearing to throw it all away. That was until a chaotic end sent them into the semi-finals.
The United head coach deserves credit for his tactical decisions on the night.
It started perfectly – with a two-goal lead at half-time – before Lyon scored two goals in the space of six mixtures to turn on tie on its head. That forced extra time and Lyon kicked on.
