Harry Maguire has said Manchester United’s players must take responsibility as individuals for the club’s disastrous start to the season.
United lost 3-0 to Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday to extend their record to one win in eight league games this season.
Michael Carrick’s role as manager is under threat, with United 16th in the table and one point outside the relegation places.
Defeat to Bournemouth followed a 4-1 Champions League thrashing at Como, leaving Carrick in a perilous position. Maguire slammed the side for another display that ‘wasn’t good enough’ and said the squad must take responsibility for their own poor performances.
“It wasn’t good enough. Disappointed to give a goal away so early – another set play – and conceding first in the Premier League it makes it difficult,” he said to Sky Sports.
“A mistake for the second makes it hard for ourselves. We didn’t perform well enough as individuals or as a team and we didn’t deserve anything from the game.
“It’s not clicking at the moment. Results are not good enough and performances in the last week not good enough. Still early in the season.
“Got to find something, question yourself, look in the mirror – that’s the most important thing – think what you can do more and what more you can contribute to the team and if we do that we’ll get somewhere.”
“You have to look after your own performances and take responsibility. This is a huge club and every day you have to prove why you’re wearing this badge.
“At the moment we’re not doing enough as players. Michael [Carrick] turned our season on its head last year and we played brilliant football and got brilliant results. This season we haven’t performed well enough as individuals.”
