JAKARTA - Manchester United defender Harry Maguire thinks his team was too engrossed in attacking in the last minute which caused a conceding as a result of the opponent's counter-attack.

MU lost 1-2 to Fulham in Week 26 of the Premier League at Old Trafford, Saturday 24 February.

Manchester United, who conceded first through Calvin Bassey's goal in the 65th minute, managed to equalize to 1-1 through Maguire's goal in the 89th minute.

Erik ten Hag's men tried to score a winning goal, which resulted in conceding through Alex Iwobi's goal in the 90+7 minute.

"Overall, in terms of game balance, we didn't do enough in the first 60 minutes. We started the game not well," Maguire said.

Maguire admits that the first half went well, but his team's performance was not considered optimal.

"We may be naive, and finally by exerting too much power forward. As a result, we were punished by counterattack," he added.

Maguire also assessed that the absence of striker Rasmus Hojlund due to injury had an impact on the team's play.

"The injury experienced by Rasmus certainly had an impact on the team's game. However, it all depends on us to find solutions and areas that we need to improve on," Maguire concluded.

Manchester United is currently in sixth place, eight points adrift of Aston Villa's fourth-ranked team in next season's Champions League ticket hunt.
