Harry Maguire issues rallying call to Man United team-mates ahead of Spurs test

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has called on his team-mates to produce an improved performance when they host Tottenham at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.

United host Spurs in midweek, with former Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho returning to Old Trafford for the first time as an opposing manager since leaving the club last December.

But following a 2-2 draw with Aston Villa at Old Trafford today (Sunday), leaving United two points behind Spurs in the table after 14 games.

And Maguire, who joined United from Leicester City in the summer in a big-money move, said the Red Devils must improve to achieve their goals this season.

“As a team we are improving but we want to improve a lot more,” he told BBC programme Match of the Day.

“To not win games at home is disappointing. We huffed and puffed but we need to do better and Wednesday [home to Spurs] gives us a great opportunity to put that right.

“We were poor after their first goal. It knocked us and we were edgy and nervous. To concede straight away after going in front it is disappointing.

“We dominated for large parts of the second half.”
