Harry Maguire makes admission on Manchester United form

Harry Maguire admits he fell below standards at Manchester United last season.

"As an individual, I didn’t play well and as team we certainly didn’t play well. But a good career can last 10 to 15 years and you’re never going to have every year where it’s plain sailing and you don’t have any difficulties.
"You’re going to have to fight, you’re going to have setbacks and last year was certainly a setback for myself on my career path but it’s behind us now and we look forward to the future and getting this club back to winning
