Manchester United captain, Harry Maguire, has said his
teammates have to take responsibility for the club’s recent form which he said
has not been good enough.
United were on Saturday beaten 4-1 away at Watford, a game
that had Maguire sent off in the second half.
The loss followed the sacking of manager Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer on Sunday.
Reacting, Maguire who spoke at a press conference on Monday
said it has been a hard time for his teammates.
“Well, like Michael’s said, I think it’s been a very hard
time for us as players as well because of the amount of respect we have for the
boss and what he’s done for a lot of us over the two-and-a-half-year period
he’s been here,” he was quoted by United’s website.
“We’ve been on a journey together, it’s never nice to see
someone lose their job. For him to come in and speak to us yesterday, the
emotion around the place… I think yeah, it was difficult to be in.
“All the lads, it shows as a group of lads, how much we want
to succeed and like you said, the result on Saturday, it wasn’t good enough.
“The results recently haven’t been good enough. It’s a
results business and, unfortunately, Ole has paid the price for that.
“Obviously, we’ve got to take a big responsibility for that
as well.”
He also shed some light on what the team and Solskjaer
discussed on Sunday prior to his departure.
“The manager’s come in and he spoke to us and it was an
emotional day and everyone’s got a huge amount of respect for Ole and what he’s
done for the club.
“He’s a legend of the club and he will remain a legend for
the club. I don’t want to go into too much depth about what he said but he
wished us well.
“He said he’d be supporting us, he said we needed to get
back on track, get focused for the game against Villarreal now and make sure we
go into it with a positive mindset.
“One thing he did say was that he’d be supporting us and
wanting us to win every game of football which shows the value of the man,” he
said.
