Maguire failed to pass right in front of the penalty area in the 29th minute, allowing the Bilbao player to poke a slot for Nico Williams to knock down goalkeeper Tom Heaton in the face-to-face position. The 30-year-old central defender was disappointed but quickly returned to the net to pick up the ball to continue the game.

In the second half, Maguire redeemed himself with a header in the penalty area, clearing the ground for Facundo Pellistri to shoot in an empty position. The 22-year-old volley hit the ground and flew to the far corner, bringing a draw for Man Utd before the new season started.

Man Utd: Heaton; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Fernandez (Evans 64); Eriksen, Gore (Emeran 81), Van de Beek (Mejbri 45); Pellistri, Sancho (Hugill 64), Forson.
