Posting to his Instagram story on Sunday afternoon, the England international showed his view of Southampton celebrations on his TV screen with the caption: "Hope everyone is having a fantastic Sunday," followed by red circle and red heart emojis.

Of course, as a Manchester United player, Maguire knows all about the Roses rivalry sparked by the North West and Yorkshire regional divide and carried on into any modern meeting between the two clubs. Also Sheffield born and bred, plus as a past Sheffield United player, the 31-year-old is no stranger to a fiery Yorkshire derby against the Whites.

Throughout his career, he has played nine matches against Leeds, winning five, drawing twice, and losing twice. So ultimately, who couldn't forgive
