Maguire and Romero clash during celebration after Tottenham's Europa League victory
Ange Postecoglou led his team to their first European trophy and ended their trophy drought, having defeated Man United 1-0 in the final of the UEFA Europa League.
Brennan Johnson's 42nd-minute goal condemned Manchester United to a disappointing end to their season, adding another layer of misery to their trophyless campaign.
The match was a tense affair, with Maguire and Romero battling throughout. Maguire even received a yellow card for a foul on the Tottenham defender.

As the Spurs players began their celebration, Romero approached several United players to shake hands, as reported by the Sun. Maguire initially appeared to ignore Romero.
However, as the Argentine moved on, Maguire angrily charged towards him, waving his hand dismissively while being restrained by teammates. Romero was also pulled away by his fellow players to prevent the situation from escalating.
