Captain Bruno Fernandes scored the only goal of the game but the Dutchman insisted that a quartet deserved to be mentioned in a positive light after a disappointing start to the season.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN have claimed that in the dressing room after Fernandes&#8217; stoppage-time effort sealed all three points at Craven Cottage, Ten Hag picked out Maguire, Scott McTominay, Jonny Evans and Alejandro Garnacho as players he was particularly proud of.<\/p>\n<p>He praised the quartet&#8217;s fighting spirit amongst the rest of the group as the Red Devils have begun to find some form in the Premier League, despite sitting sixth with 13 goals in 12 games.<\/p>\n<p>As some members of the team have been criticised for their lack of commitment, Maguire in particular is a player that Ten Hag now feels that he trusts and can rely on having been restored to the starting lineup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive Man Utd news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> JUST IN <\/strong> <strong>Man Utd star McTomiay brutally fumes at &#8216;crying babies&#8217;
