Man Utd ace Harry Maguire’s fiancee Fern Hawkins gives birth to second child nine months after blockbuster transfer

HARRY MAGUIRE'S fiancee Fern Hawkins has given birth to the couple's second child... almost nine months to the day since he signed for Manchester United.

The 27-year-old joined the Red Devils for £85million on August 5 last year following a protracted summer transfer chase.

And nine months later, he and Hawkins have welcome healthy baby girl Piper Rose Maguire to this "crazy world".

Remarkably, the couple's first child Lillie Saint Maguire also arrived nine months after one of Harry's footballing highlights, England's 2018 World Cup penalty shootout win over Colombia.

Maguire was congratulated by team-mates and rivals on Instagram after Piper's birth.

England captain Harry Kane wrote: "Congratulations Big H".

While Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson similarly commented: "Congrats big m".

Former Hull City team-mate Andy Robertson chimed in with: "Congrats big guy".

And Ben Chilwell wrote: "Congratulations brother".

The Colombia match in 2018 saw the now-famous snap of the defender in conversation with fiancee Fern as she congratulated him from the crowd at the Spartak Stadium was taken.

That photo has been used by Maguire's England team-mates on numerous occasions to poke fun at him, Kyle Walker being one of the chief protagonists.

England went on to beat Sweden in the quarter-finals, with 'Slabhead' even getting on the scoresheet.

But it was heartbreak for the Three Lions in the semis with defeat by Croatia.

Fern and Harry got engaged on February 17, 2018 and have been dating for more than eight years.
