Manchester United defender, Harry Maguire has reacted to his side’s terrible performance against Watford in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Old Trafford side lost 2-0 at Vicarage Road, courtesy of goals from Ismaila Sarr and Troy Deeney.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Maguire said: “We were sloppy and gave the ball away numerous times, especially in the first half.

“It was little sloppy errors on the ball. We had control of the first half, they didn’t really threaten but we didn’t keep the ball with high enough tempo. We’d end up giving it away and they would counter. We’ve got to do better.”

The game saw Paul Pogba come in as a second half substitute after returning from injury, but the Frenchman could not rescue his side.

The game is a setback for United’s push for a UEFA Champions League spot and highlights the team’s struggles against smaller clubs in the Premier League.

Man United’s next game is against Newcastle on Boxing Day.
