'Only one who can score a header!' - Ruben Amorim reveals tactical masterstroke which led to Man Utd securing stunning late comeback against Lyon as Harry Maguire & Kobbie Mainoo save Red Devils

<p>Mainoo has been struggling for form and fitness since Amorim's arrival at the club, but found his number called when Rasmus Hojlund went down injured in the dying embers of regular time. His manager praised his ability in "short spaces" as the thinking for deploying the midfielder as an auxiliary No.9. The 19-year-old seemed to send the game to penalties with a well taken, curling finish.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The winning moment came from a towering Maguire header. Amorim's reasoning for moving his strapping centre half up top for the last few minutes of the game was more obvious: Maguire's prowess in the air.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Amorim said post-match: "We tried to put Harry Maguire up front because he is the only one who can score a goal with a header. Kobbie Mainoo has a lack of pace in this moment because of injury, but he's really good in short spaces."</p>

WHAT RUBEN AMORIM SAID

<p>The Red Devils have set up a Europa League semi-final with Athletic Club, which will begin on May 1 in Bilbao before the return leg a week later.</p>
