Maguire: We need to make Old Trafford a fortress

The England centre-back has called on his team-mates to be strong at home this season

Harry Maguire has called for Manchester United to turn Old Trafford into a ‘fortress’ this season after thrashing Chelsea 4-0 in their first Premier League game of the 2019-20 season.

"It is a great start for myself and the team,” Maguire said after the game.

“We rode our luck a bit first half but second we were much more ourselves.

"It is the first game at Old Trafford, so I think there were nerves. We gave the ball away in dangerous areas. We moved it nicely second half and our front three are so dangerous on the break.

"We knew there were only two clean sheets last year here. We need to make it a fortress.”

Speaking on a personal note, Maguire was happy with his own performance but insisted that he had more to give.

"I felt good. I've only had three or four days with the lads. I am going to get fitter and better."
