Maguire unhappy at late goal

“We are disappointed. We got control of the game, we had numerous chances to kill the game off. We were not at our best. We are not saying that there are loads of areas to improve on but we did enough to win the game and a set-play has killed us in the end.”

Southampton took a 12th minute lead through Stuart Armstrong but United answered emphatically with strikes by Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. However, the Saints wouldn’t lie down.

“They are a team that has got no pressure on them. Coming to Old Trafford, no fans, obviously they are playing for pride in the league, but can’t get relegated, can’t reach Europe. So we knew they were going to press and they pressed like mad,” added Harry.

“We didn’t handle it well enough in the first 20 minutes. We gave them a soft goal. We got ourselves back into the game, back where we want to be but the second half was a bit of a slog.
