JAKARTA - Manchester United captain Harry Maguire said he was not worried about the bad trend in the results of his team's home matches in the Premier League. However, he called for all parties to work hard to create change.
MU has just been beaten by Arsenal at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday local time (Monday WIB), making the Red Devils go through four games without a win at home after previously losing against Crytal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur and a zero draw against Chelsea.
"I don't think it's something to worry about. Obviously it's disappointing, because we haven't won at Old Trafford in a league match this season," Maguire said in post-match comments quoted by Antara from MU's official website.
"It's very disappointing and we have to change it if we want to achieve success this season. We have to have a good home record, making it difficult for the opposing teams to come here. What happened today was not good enough," he added.
Although they did not win at the Premier League home match, MU was able to beat RB Leipzig 5-0 in the Champions League Group H continued in the middle of last week.
That also makes Maguire believe that MU's bad trend at home in the Premier League is not something to be worried about.
"You can see in the middle of last week we played here and put on a brilliant performance, but something is not right here at the moment," he said.
Maguire considered that his team did not start the match well against Arsenal and often lost possession of the ball.
"We can't make excuses, we can only reflect on ourselves. From the start we didn't look good," he said.
"We lose the ball too often. If you play in English Premier League games like that, there is no way you can win," concluded Maguire.
The defeat seemed to be a smudge for the milestone of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's 100th match in handling MU and the Red Devils troops while stuck in 15th place with only a collection of seven points.
United will travel to Istanbul Basaksehir headquarters in the Champions League Group H on Wednesday, November 4, before visiting Goodison Park to face Everton three days later.
