Steve Bruce has picked out three Manchester United players following their 3-0 win over Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.
Alejandro Garnacho opened the scoring, before goals from Casemiro and Anthony Martial sealed victory at Old Trafford.
Bruce, who made 417 appearances for United between 1987 and 1996, was impressed by Harry Maguire.
“He’s very, very decent. He made a really good interception in the first five minutes, which was Palace’s only real effort in the first half.
“He did what Harry does. I’ve seen Harry play so many times likes this where he has done enough, he’s played well.
“You can see from the reaction of the supporters when he makes tackles. He is the one again. Fair play to him,” Bruce told Sky Sports.
On Martial, he added: “[His goal was] a quality finish, with his wrong foot.
“He’s had his critics over the years but he is a really talented footballer. To take that on your wrong side and stick it into the top corner is a great finish.”
When asked about on-loan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, who was played at left-back on his full debut, Bruce said: “He looks a real player.
“He questioned him at left-back and if he would fit in there comfortably. I think he played everywhere but left-back! You can see he’s got a physical presence about him. That’s going to be big for Manchester United by the look of it.”
