United manager demands his senior players help address slumpTen Hag praises Maguire’s improved level of performances
Erik ten Hag has called on Manchester United’s senior players to show more leadership in clutch moments and named Harry Maguire, the former captain, as one of those who can “step up”.
United’s mindset has appeared fragile in adversity this season, with the 4-3 Champions League defeat to Copenhagen in midweek the latest example. United were leading 2-0 and, according to Ten Hag, enjoying their “best minutes of the season” before Marcus Rashford’s red card triggered another dramatic collapse.
