Manchester United Should Not Stop Winning – Maguire

Manchester United captain, Harry Maguire has said he was proud to lead his team to a derby victory vs Manchester City and he now wants every Man United player to push for a UCL spot this season.

The Red Devils are not playing in the UCL this season and they have played in the competition just twice since 2014, which is a poor record for a club of their stature.

With Mufc now 5th in the EPL, 5 points behind Chelsea in 4th, who are currently occupying the UCL qualification spot, Maguire wants United players to fight for a Champions League spot because it would be the right step in the right direction.

His words, “The top four is in sight but we need to look after our own results and keep trying to get the three points, and keep improving,”

“We’ve got another big game next week against Everton.

“We need to keep winning games, we’ve won back-to-back games against Spurs and City.”

“It was a great start from the lads in the first half, the front four were frightening and, when they’re on their game like that, they can cause any defence problems,” he reflected.

“Over the last month or so, I feel like I look at the forwards and think they’re going to score goals. At the start of the season we didn’t really score more than one goal in a game but now, it’s a few games in a row where we’re back to scoring goals.

“They’re a big threat, they’re top talents and I think it’s all coming together now. We’re not getting carried away – it’s a big three points, a special win, one for the fans and I’m really happy for them. We just keep moving up that table and keep chipping away.”

On the game, “I feel really proud to lead the boys out at the Etihad and to get the three points,”

“It was an important game for us. I think the last two games, no one can question that we’ve deserved our victories.

“We knew they were going to come strong and throw everything at us. I think we held on well and I don’t think they created too much in the second half.”
