Harry Maguire has offered his support to Manchester United teammate Marcus Rashford after a difficult start to the season.
Rashford has been criticised for his performance in the Premier League after Manchester United lost to Newcastle on Saturday.
Erik ten Hag and Paul Scholes have both expressed their concerns for the player's form, however, Maguire has defended Rashford.
He told TNT Sports: "Marcus had an unbelievable season last season and this season it just hasn't clicked for him. Everyone in the dressing room knows what he's about and he's working hard to get back to his best."
Maguire also expressed his opinion on the game, feeling that Manchester United didn't have enough in the game and failed to create enough chances. He said: "The tempo wasn't there, the intensity wasn't there. We grew into the game, but we just didn't have enough in the end. We put pressure on but we didn't create enough. Our threat wasn't big enough."
On Manchester United's poor record against the top six, Maguire commented: "It's not a nice stat to have and we knew this was a big chance to prove ourselves. We know the intensity they play at and we just didn't do enough, so we'll look to get the three points in the week."
Maguire's comments demonstrate his clear support for his teammate and Maguire's words of support could be just what Rashford needs to get back to his best form.
