Joshua Zirkzee and Harry Maguire were both on the same wavelength after Manchester United’s Europa League win over Rangers at Old Trafford on Thursday.
Manchester United and Rangers were level going into half-time with a 0-0 scoreline on the board before the Red Devils took the lead in the second half.
Jack Butland put the ball in the back of his own net after he failed to clear Christian Eriksen’s corner and the ball skidded off his first during the set-piece.
Rangers climbed back into the match in the 88th minute after Harry Maguire was exposed defensively and Cyriel Dessers found an equaliser for the Scottish side.
However, United ensured their victory on Thursday evening after Bruno Fernandes scored from close range in injury time to seal all three Europa League points.

Harry Maguire came off the bench for United against Rangers and the 31-year-old England defender replaced Matthijs de Ligt after the break.
Joshua Zirkzee, on the other hand, started the Europa League contest and managed 82 minutes before he was hooked off for United striker Rasmus Hojlund.
Maguire, who has seen a resurgence in form under Amorim, took to Instagram after the match and the United centre-back sent a clear message to fans about the result.
-“Important win at Old Trafford,” he wrote on Instagram Stories.
Zirkzee, much like Red Devils teammate Maguire, stressed the importance of United’s Europa League win at Old Trafford in a social media post.
However, the 23-year-old Dutch forward went one step further by adding that United must now “focus” on their match against Fulham on Sunday.
“Great win. Focus on Sunday,” Zirkzee posted on Instagram Stories.
