Manchester United: Ruben Amorim explains Harry Maguire substitution and hints at new role for defender
Briefly

Harry Maguire returned to Manchester United's matchday squad for a Premier League match against Nottingham Forest and was substituted as a forward in the final moments. Despite his efforts, including a near-equalizer clearance off the line, United lost 1-0. Manager Amorim indicated a potential new role for Maguire, emphasizing his strength in set pieces and fielding him as a striker when in the opponent's box. The upcoming derby against Manchester City will see if this tactical shift continues as other forwards struggled against Forest.
Harry Maguire is really strong on set pieces and when you are in the opposite box you are a striker not a defender.
Maguire could only head the ball well wide from right in front of the goal following Partick Dorgu's cross.
