Harry Maguire
4 minutes into the pre-season game with Melbourne Victory Gary Vance gets his answer on Maguire and the high line, Melbourne’s first attack on the break and Maguire is caught chuffing back 5 yards away from the striker in the centre who knocks it home for 1 nil.

Big clubs…
Couple of very good mailbox contributions today from Man Utd fans. Dave, Manchester – I found myself nodding my head in agreement with everything said. I could have personally written exactly the same things about myself, as a Liverpool fan. I would guess we are of similar age. My earliest memories of football are when Liverpool lost the FA Cup Final to Wimbledon, and their title win in 1990. Ever since, and is mentioned quite a bit, Liverpool failed to win a league title again for 30 years. Most of my memory of supporting them.

Have a new manager and in that scenario, I fully understand supporters looking for abit more out of these pre-season games. Utd used it for testing their available first eleven more. For Liverpool, we know their best eleven, know how they play. So it really was just a…
