READ NORWICH VERDICT
Maguire has been, according to WhoScored, Manchester United’s best centre-back this season. He has recorded a rating of 7.01, with Victor Lindelof second at 6.60. This suggests that his return is a huge boost for Manchester United, although some of their fans appear to be concerned by the speed of his recovery.
Only Manchester United’s physio team and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer himself are going to know how fit Maguire is. It would be risky to throw him in if he was not ready, so – presumably – he has shown enough in training to prove that he can start against Norwich. It would be a risk as it could lead to him doing further damage to his hip and causing himself to be out for an extended period of time.
