Jose Mourinho has said Manchester United defender, Harry Maguire, was “solid like a rock” in his Premier League debut against Chelsea.
Maguire was named Man of the Match, as United hammered the Blues 4-0.
The 26-year-old registered more clearances, more interceptions and more blocks than any other player on the pitch and Mourinho thinks he was good value for his accolade.
“I think he fully deserved Man of the Match.
“I think he was solid like a rock and as we know it is very important for a team to have that.
“Not just the tactical knowledge but that personality, that sense of reading the game, being alert all the time, the confidence to play. He was fantastic, absolutely deserved.
“A team can be very dangerous in attack but if you feel that a defensive mistake is just around the corner, you don’t play as well.
“When you can feel that there is something that really allows you to play, you are much more confident. [Victor] Lindelof can be a very good player and with Maguire I think they can be a very good couple,” Mourinho said on Sky Sports.
