Harry Maguire was one of Manchester United’s best performers in his team’s 1-0 win at Real Betis in the hugely atmospheric Estadio Benito Villamarin on Thursday.

It came on the day he made Gareth Southgate’s England squad again for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine.

Thursday's Europa League last-16 second leg was the sixth game Maguire has started for United since the World Cup finals, where he played well for England. United have won all six, but while he is club captain, Maguire isn’t the first-choice starter that he was in his first four seasons at Old Trafford.

The National spoke to him after the game in Seville.

How was tonight’s game?

It was an important one. We performed well at Old Trafford, especially in the second half. Betis are a good team, they’re fifth in La Liga, but the second half at Old Trafford was electric.

Tonight, we knew how important the first goal would be and how the first 20 minutes of the game were so important. Away from home in Europe is totally different from a home tie and we spoke about that in the dressing room. The manager has got a lot of European experience and knew exactly what he was talking about and we have a lot of players with European experience. That showed.

Betis came at us with intensity and a high tempo for those first 20 minutes but we matched them and after that I felt we controlled the game. That’s not easy to do here. It’s a great, loud stadium. I played here with England when we got that famous victory against Spain. Betis are a good club with a good team. They’re pushing to play in the Champions League next season, yet we went through the tie comfortably 5-1 on aggregate and I felt we controlled both games.

Betis v United ratings

REAL BETIS RATINGS: Rui Silva – 6 Preferred to Claudio Bravo after the Chilean’s shaky first leg performance. Showed solid command and handling without facing a first-half shot on target, but made decent one-on-one saves from Rashford and Sabitzer in the second half. Exposed and beaten from distance by the ferocity of the England star’s winner. AFP

Youssouf Sabaly – 7 Pushed forward down the right as Betis looked to make early inroads into the aggregate deficit. Front-foot defending from the off, though that did leave gaps which United failed to exploit, but overall showed himself to be a fruitful attacking outlet and never stopped grafting. AP

German Pezzella – 6 Had to step up without the injured Luis Felipe alongside him and promptly did so, imposing himself throughout and making one hugely enjoyable first-half challenge on Malacia. Giddiness got the better of him when needlessly tangling with Rashford and he struggled to deal with United’s growing attacking presence. AP

Edgar Gonzalez – 5 Looked ring-rusty at times on his return in place of Luiz Felipe, not least with a slow reaction to Pellistri’s shot against the post in first-half injury-time. Uncomfortable in the face of United’s pacey counter-attacks as the visitors steadily took control of the game. AFP

Joaquin – 6 The ageless Betis legend was more involved in the second leg, starting both halves in lively form. Took just 10 minutes to curl a long-ranger against the outside of the United post and a few seconds after the interval to blaze over. The pace of the game made it difficult for him to sustain involvement and he was withdrawn before the hour. AFP

How do you see the Europa League this season?

We’re in it to win it. If you look at the last 5-10 years, the competition has really picked up. It’s not the competition we want to be in as a club, we want to be in the Champions League, but it’s a great competition. There’s a lot of strong teams in it – we’ve played some of them this season and I remember losing that final against Villarreal.

How do you think you did tonight?

I’m happy. We won the game and kept a clean sheet. It was my first start in a couple of weeks but I’ve still had six starts since the World Cup. I want to help the team on and off the field. My job is to make sure this club is successful. Whether I’m playing or not, I have a big responsibility. As a footballer I’m disappointed when I’m not playing but all I can do is work and train as hard as I can.

Is six starts in 10 weeks enough for you?

You’ve known me since I’ve joined this club and know I always want to be on that pitch and leading the team out. I want to strive to play every game for this club, but I also understand that the lads playing are playing well, really well. They’re top-quality centre backs who are in good form. And that’s football. We also know that things can change quickly in football.

We have four international centre-backs at this club – and for good international sides. That’s a lot of competition and I believe that any four of us could play week in week out at a top Premier League club. Everyone is pushing each other and that’s good for Manchester United.

Is this the best Manchester United side you’ve been involved with?

I’d probably say so. We had some very good moments under Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer]. We got to semi-finals, we reached the Europa final and lost on penalties, we finished second in the Premier League.

This manager [Erik ten Hag] has really set a style and a philosophy. I buy into it. If you don’t you get moved on. It’s demanding.

In what way?

He demands high standards, perfection while understanding that things can never be perfect. He tells you if things are wrong, he’s authoritative and he’s the leader of the club. The lads are buying into it and you can see that by the amount of games we’ve won this year. There has been some downs – as there always are – and we’re nowhere near where we want to be. Manchester United want to be challenging for the league with lot more points than we’ve got now, but if you look at where we were last season we’re making good progress.

Have you thought about your future?

No. There’s a game every three days and I’m training as hard as I can. I’m in a good place mentally and physically, I feel good. The training sessions are really intense, especially the day after a game. There will be lads unhappy because they’ve not played or sat on the bench. That’s part of football, but it adds more competition and high-quality training where the lads are covering similar distances to what they do in a game. That’s a credit to the players and the coaching staff here putting on those sessions.

What will success look like for Manchester United this season?

We want to win every game in the Premier League and see where it takes us, but you also have to be a realist and understand our position. We need to get top four and we’re in a strong position to do so. We don’t settle for that, we should push for the team above us in the league, whoever that is. This club needs to win trophies. We’ve won one and our minimum aim should be to win another trophy this season.

The most expensive investment mistake you will ever make

When is the best time to start saving in a pension? The answer is simple – at the earliest possible moment. The first pound, euro, dollar or dirham you invest is the most valuable, as it has so much longer to grow in value. If you start in your twenties, it could be invested for 40 years or more, which means you have decades for compound interest to work its magic.

“You get growth upon growth upon growth, followed by more growth. The earlier you start the process, the more it will all roll up,” says Chris Davies, chartered financial planner at The Fry Group in Dubai.

This table shows how much you would have in your pension at age 65, depending on when you start and how much you pay in (it assumes your investments grow 7 per cent a year after charges and you have no other savings).

The five stages of early child’s play

From Dubai-based clinical psychologist Daniella Salazar:

1. Solitary Play: This is where Infants and toddlers start to play on their own without seeming to notice the people around them. This is the beginning of play.

2. Onlooker play: This occurs where the toddler enjoys watching other people play. There doesn’t necessarily need to be any effort to begin play. They are learning how to imitate behaviours from others. This type of play may also appear in children who are more shy and introverted.

3. Parallel Play: This generally starts when children begin playing side-by-side without any interaction. Even though they aren’t physically interacting they are paying attention to each other. This is the beginning of the desire to be with other children.

4. Associative Play: At around age four or five, children become more interested in each other than in toys and begin to interact more. In this stage children start asking questions and talking about the different activities they are engaging in. They realise they have similar goals in play such as building a tower or playing with cars.

5. Social Play: In this stage children are starting to socialise more. They begin to share ideas and follow certain rules in a game. They slowly learn the definition of teamwork. They get to engage in basic social skills and interests begin to lead social interactions.

Commission caps

For life insurance products with a savings component, Peter Hodgins of Clyde & Co said different caps apply to the saving and protection elements:

• For the saving component, a cap of 4.5 per cent of the annualised premium per year (which may not exceed 90 per cent of the annualised premium over the policy term). 

• On the protection component, there is a cap  of 10 per cent of the annualised premium per year (which may not exceed 160 per cent of the annualised premium over the policy term).

• Indemnity commission, the amount of commission that can be advanced to a product salesperson, can be 50 per cent of the annualised premium for the first year or 50 per cent of the total commissions on the policy calculated. 

• The remaining commission after deduction of the indemnity commission is paid equally over the premium payment term.

• For pure protection products, which only offer a life insurance component, the maximum commission will be 10 per cent of the annualised premium multiplied by the length of the policy in years.

Disclosure

Customers must now be provided with a full illustration of the product they are buying to ensure they understand the potential returns on savings products as well as the effects of any charges. There is also a “free-look” period of 30 days, where insurers must provide a full refund if the buyer wishes to cancel the policy.

“The illustration should provide for at least two scenarios to illustrate the performance of the product,” said Mr Hodgins. “All illustrations are required to be signed by the customer.”

Another illustration must outline surrender charges to ensure they understand the costs of exiting a fixed-term product early.

Illustrations must also be kept updatedand insurers must provide information on the top five investment funds available annually, including at least five years' performance data.

“This may be segregated based on the risk appetite of the customer (in which case, the top five funds for each segment must be provided),” said Mr Hodgins.

Product providers must also disclose the ratio of protection benefit to savings benefits. If a protection benefit ratio is less than 10 per cent "the product must carry a warning stating that it has limited or no protection benefit" Mr Hodgins added.

hall of shame

SUNDERLAND 2002-03

No one has ended a Premier League season quite like Sunderland. They lost each of their final 15 games, taking no points after January. They ended up with 19 in total, sacking managers Peter Reid and Howard Wilkinson and losing 3-1 to Charlton when they scored three own goals in eight minutes.

SUNDERLAND 2005-06

Until Derby came along, Sunderland’s total of 15 points was the Premier League’s record low. They made it until May and their final home game before winning at the Stadium of Light while they lost a joint record 29 of their 38 league games.

HUDDERSFIELD 2018-19

Joined Derby as the only team to be relegated in March. No striker scored until January, while only two players got more assists than goalkeeper Jonas Lossl. The mid-season appointment Jan Siewert was to end his time as Huddersfield manager with a 5.3 per cent win rate.

ASTON VILLA 2015-16

Perhaps the most inexplicably bad season, considering they signed Idrissa Gueye and Adama Traore and still only got 17 points. Villa won their first league game, but none of the next 19. They ended an abominable campaign by taking one point from the last 39 available.

FULHAM 2018-19

Terrible in different ways. Fulham’s total of 26 points is not among the lowest ever but they contrived to get relegated after spending over £100 million (Dh457m) in the transfer market. Much of it went on defenders but they only kept two clean sheets in their first 33 games.

LA LIGA: Sporting Gijon, 13 points in 1997-98.

BUNDESLIGA: Tasmania Berlin, 10 points in 1965-66

Other acts on the Jazz Garden bill

Sharrie Williams
The American singer is hugely respected in blues circles due to her passionate vocals and songwriting. Born and raised in Michigan, Williams began recording and touring as a teenage gospel singer. Her career took off with the blues band The Wiseguys. Such was the acclaim of their live shows that they toured throughout Europe and in Africa. As a solo artist, Williams has also collaborated with the likes of the late Dizzy Gillespie, Van Morrison and Mavis Staples.
Lin Rountree
An accomplished smooth jazz artist who blends his chilled approach with R‘n’B. Trained at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, DC, Rountree formed his own band in 2004. He has also recorded with the likes of Kem, Dwele and Conya Doss. He comes to Dubai on the back of his new single Pass The Groove, from his forthcoming 2018 album Stronger Still, which may follow his five previous solo albums in cracking the top 10 of the US jazz charts.
Anita Williams
Dubai-based singer Anita Williams will open the night with a set of covers and swing, jazz and blues standards that made her an in-demand singer across the emirate. The Irish singer has been performing in Dubai since 2008 at venues such as MusicHall and Voda Bar. Her Jazz Garden appearance is career highlight as she will use the event to perform the original song Big Blue Eyes, the single from her debut solo album, due for release soon.
