The captain reckons United put up an ‘all-around defensive performance’.
Maguire adds that the Red Devils nailed the result in the second half.
Speaking to MUTV after beating Wolves 1-0, Harry Maguire explained: “Well, it was important we had great protection from Nemanja [Matic] and Paul [Pogba] – who I thought was excellent as well in the defensive work. In the second half he did some great tackles as well.
“It was an all-around defensive performance really. I think defensively we were pretty solid and sound. There were a couple of counter-attacks in the first half, but we adjusted it at half-time and I think we nailed it in the second half.
“We lacked that little bit of tempo, not just the forward lads, but us defensive lads that are playing the balls through the lines and finding Bruno [Fernandes]. We couldn’t quite grasp that tonight, but it is important to stay in the game and wait for your moment.
“Last year in games like this we would probably go pushing and concede a sloppy goal at the other end.”
The Manchester United captain put up a solid performance alongside Eric Bailly and full credit to our defenders – David De Gea, especially – for keeping a very important clean sheet.
