# Manchester United: Fans react to Harry Maguire’s incredible gesture to club staff

**Lots of Manchester United supporters have reacted to Harry Maguire’s incredible gesture to all of the Red Devils staff, via the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8219151/Harry-Maguire-sends-video-Manchester-United-staff-club-captain-pays-tribute-hard-work.html).**

According to the report, the club captain sent a personalised video message to every member of staff, thanking them for their hard work and contributions during the pandemic.

Having moved to Old Trafford from Leicester City for [£78.3m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-maguire/profil/spieler/177907) last summer, Maguire has led from the back and impressed with a series of defensive shifts, making 4.5 clearances and completing 1.9 interceptions on average per game in the Premier League (via [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/99487/Show/Harry-Maguire)). Currently his market value is rated at £50.4m via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-maguire/profil/spieler/177907).

The 27-year-old is affectionately called ‘Slabhead’ by fans all around the country, a nickname he was given by his former Foxes teammate Jamie Vardy several years ago ([BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/28c7d0ff-212f-4014-9b25-a0eeddeb81b0)).

Maguire has won 26 caps for England and scored 1 goal since making his debut for the national team back in 2017 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-maguire/profil/spieler/177907)).

Popular fan page [United Zone](https://twitter.com/ManUnitedZone_/status/1250173269157822474) shared the news on Twitter. Understandably, his touching tribute has delighted loads of United fans, with one calling him “pure class.” Another simply said “what a man.”
