Harry Maguire predicted his goal vs Chelsea

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire correctly predicted he would score against Chelsea this evening – and knew exactly how he would score his goal.

The England international wrote a text message to brother Laurence, who plays for Chesterfield, is which he claimed he would score at the backpost from an inswinging corner.

Writing to his younger sibling, he said: “Yes I’m going to score around back tonight. Watch. I swinging corner [sic].”

Maguire duly delivered to scored United’s second goal in a 0-2 away win at Stamford Bridge.

Laurence shared a screenshot of the conversation, which was later retweeted by his brother, and said: “The boy said he would score tonight.”
