Club captain Harry Maguire has highlighted the importance of Manchester United's players sticking together and being united as one ahead of Saturday's trip to Tottenham Hotspur.
United's winless run in the Premier League was extended to four matches on Sunday afternoon in devastating circumstances, losing 5-0 against arch rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford.
As a result of the defeat to Jurgen Klopp's side, United, especially manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, are under enormous pressure to arrest their current slump and make up for Sunday's embarrassing showing against Spurs, who are currently one place and one point better off than the Reds in the table.
With the pressure mounting and United owing their supporters a response, Maguire, who experienced a difficult afternoon against Liverpool, has outlined the importance of everyone connected with the club remaining together, insisting "big discussions" have been had this week.
"It’s been a tough week obviously, you can’t just brush these things aside, especially when you lose to your rivals," Maguire told United's club website. "To lose in the manner that we did was so disappointing.
"We’ve obviously had big discussions, we’ve analysed the game and the goals and looked at how we can do better and improve.
"That’s the most important thing now, we need to come together as a group and a club. We know our fans will be with us and come Saturday at Tottenham, like I said, they will be there in their numbers and I’m sure they’ll be singing and chanting and be right with us and getting behind us."
Although United's supporters, understandably, are still reeling from the defeat to the Merseysiders, Maguire has insisted that the squad is remaining positive, highlighting the importance of the need to "move on."
Maguire added: "We know as a group of players we need to make sure we’re together and we’re positive.
"It’s a tough one to move on from but we need to move on.
"There are lots of games to play in the Premier League, we’re in a strong position in the group in the Champions League and we’re still early on in the season. And it’s a season in which we know we can still achieve things."
