‘May the best man win’ – Maguire relishing Kane battle as title target is set for Man Utd

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has sounded a “may the best man win” battle cry ahead of a meeting with Tottenham striker Harry Kane on Sunday, with the two England colleagues preparing to lock horns.

The Red Devils and Spurs are both harbouring top-four ambitions heading into the final weeks of the 2020-21 campaign, with Jose Mourinho’s men looking to replicate the heroics that saw them claim a 6-1 victory at Old Trafford earlier in the campaign.

Maguire is eager to ensure that there is no repeat of that outcome when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side head to north London, but is aware that international team-mate Kane – who has netted a Golden Boot-leading 19 Premier League goals this term – is set to present him with the toughest of challenges.
