Hag addresses Maguire's injury after he leaves game against Fulham.

During Manchester United's recent match against Fulham, there was a moment of concern when their star defender, Harry Maguire, had to leave the field due to an apparent injury. However, according to their manager, Erik ten Hag, it was just a precautionary measure and Maguire is not actually injured.

Despite this minor setback, the Red Devils were able to secure a 1-0 victory thanks to a late goal from Joshua Zirkzee, who came off the bench to make his debut for the team. While Maguire had already been substituted off six minutes earlier, his absence did not seem to affect the team's performance as they held on to their lead until the final whistle.

Ten Hag explained to Sky Sports that Maguire had a minor issue and he did not want to risk making it worse by keeping him on the field. Fortunately, the team was able to secure the win without him and more importantly, there were no further injuries to report.

In terms of the team's defensive lineup, Maguire was paired with Lisandro Martinez in the center, while Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot played on the flanks. Later in the game, Matthijs de Ligt, who recently joined the team, made his debut as a substitute. Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher believes that De Ligt will eventually replace Maguire as the first-choice center-back, alongside Martinez.

Speaking about the team's performance, Ten Hag acknowledged that there is still room for improvement, but he was pleased with the win and the overall execution of their game plan. He also mentioned that the team is not at full fitness yet, as they have only had 10 days to train together as a unit.

Looking ahead, Ten Hag is optimistic about the team's potential and believes they have a strong foundation to build upon. He also mentioned that there could be more improvements in the future, as the team continues to train and play together.

Overall, the win was a great start to the Premier League season for Manchester United, and fans can look forward to more exciting matches in the future. It's also a relief to know that Maguire's injury was not serious and the team can continue to rely on his strong defensive skills.
