Harry Maguire achieves landmark milestone in win vs. Brentford

The England international recently put pen to paper on a contract extension with the Red Devils and he is certainly showing no signs of slowing down.

Maguire undoubtedly has one eye on being a mainstay for the Three Lions during this summer’s World Cup.

United have confirmed that Maguire’s appearance against Keith Andrews’ men marked the 600th of his professional career.

Landmark achievement

Maguire broke into the Sheffield United first team before he moved to Hull City and stepped up to the Premier League in 2014/15.

He then spent a loan spell in the Championship with Wigan Athletic before going on to become a Premier League fixture, first back at Hull and later with Leicester City.

It’s from Leicester that United forked out £80m to sign him, a world-record fee for a defender.

It hasn’t always been plain sailing for him at Old Trafford, having faced numerous challenges on and off the pitch. Yet it’s impossible to deny that he’s now playing some of his best football and has truly found himself again.

266 of Maguire’s 600 appearances have come in a United shirt.

The 33-year-old and his teammates are next in action on Sunday when they host bitter rivals Liverpool.
