His kind actions were only revealed last night after the ex-Leicester and Hull City centre-half responded to a tweet.

An individual named Jackie Claydon wrote to the England international to thank him for his generosity.

She said: “Thank you so much for your very kind gesture to the older generation of Mosborough. My mum was very appreciative.”

That message was sent along with an image of the pack provided by Maguire.

It included milk and a several vegetables along with a nice addition of a personalised signed card from the defender.

After spotting the tweet, Maguire responded: “My pleasure #StaySafe’.”

The ace grew up in Mosborough, located in the south east of Sheffield.

Maguire came through the ranks at boyhood club Sheffield United before moving on to Hull and Leicester.

Now club captain at Old Trafford following last summer’s move from the Foxes, he revealed he is in weekly discussions with United regarding the possibility of players taking a wage cut throughout the coronavirus crisis.
