Harry Maguire has admitted he was delighted to score the matchwinner for Manchester United against FC Copenhagen and he also vowed to kick on after a difficult period in his career.

Erik ten Hag said the game against Copenhagen was a must-win for United, but the away side looked like the better team from the first whistle and they hit the post just a few minutes into the contest.

United's first-half performance was poor and the decision was made to replace Sofyan Amrabat at half-time with Christian Eriksen, who immediately made an impact and provided the team with control in midfield.
