Maguire says his winning goal against Liverpool could be his last appearance for the club at Anfield. Maguire had never defeated Liverpool away from home in his six years at Manchester United before, but his goal this time helped Manchester United end their longest winless streak at Anfield.
Maguire only has the final eight months of his contract remaining, although his agent has held discussions with the club about an extension.
When asked about the reaction of friends and family, Maguire said: "Yeah, the battery is running low, really. It's a fantastic moment. I've spent a lot of good times at Manchester United and scored some important goals. Obviously, that goal against Lyon in the Europa League quarter-finals last season and the winner this time at Anfield are very special moments for me."
"It's not easy to get here. I've been here for seven years, these seven years. I haven't won here in years, which makes me a little upset. Honestly, it's something that's always been on my mind. I'm in the last year of my contract now, so this might be my last game at Anfield for Manchester United. So it's important to be able to win here because it's always been a wish in my heart. "
Maguire scored a goal at Anfield when he was playing for Leicester City in the 2018-19 season, but it was an equalizing goal. In January of this year, in Manchester United's 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield, Maguire missed an obvious scoring opportunity in stoppage time, but replays showed that Zikeze was offside.
Maguire said with a smile: "I missed that chance. But I still thought it was offside, and I kept telling everyone that it was offside! Even so, it would be better if I could score the ball and see everyone's reaction. But if I score the ball and celebrate, and then it is disallowed, it will be more painful."
Speaking of his winning goal, Maguire admitted that he later realized that he should celebrate with the Manchester United fans in the Anfield Road stands. He sprinted in the opposite direction, facing the Liverpool fans in Dalglish's stand.
Maguire said : "Honestly, when I scored, I didn't know where I was on the pitch. I knew I wasn't offside. I just wanted to do my trademark kneel-down celebration. I should have gone to B Fernandes to thank him for the wonderful assist. But in that moment, you don't realize it. When I ran to the other end, I felt I needed to celebrate in front of the Manchester United fans. They have been very good to me during my time at Manchester United. It is a very special moment for me to give something back to them."
