Roy Keane and Daniel Sturridge debated whether Zirzkzee’s cross should have been better
Sky Sports pundits Roy Keane and Daniel Sturridge clashed over whether Maguire should have finished as the ball from Zirkzee took a bobble.
Sturridge said: ‘Don’t bobble it into him, you’ve got all the time in the world.’
Keane added: ‘Know your players, expect the bobble. He’s not going to zip it into you perfectly. You’ve got to hit the target Harry. If it hits the target, no problem.’
‘He passed it as if he was cutting it back to shoot. We’re talking about an international player,’ former Reds striker Sturridge responded.
United boss Amorim praised Maguire’s commitment despite his miss.
‘For me, missing chances or playing badly with the ball is not the big issue,’ Amorim told the BBC.
‘For me, the big issue is that Harry gave everything on the pitch. That is the most important thing.’
