Harry Maguire is delighted over how Manchester United have bounced back since their thrashing by Tottenham - but is now demanding more.

A 4-1 win at Newcastle was followed up with the impressive 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain - with both goals conceded in those games own goals.

The weekend's goalless draw with Chelsea hinted again at greater defensive resilience, before Wednesday night's 5-0 hammering of previously-unbeaten RB Leipzig.

“After Spurs, we were all devastated and just three games into the season it felt like it was a big crisis," the United captain told MUTV.

“It was quite a strange feeling, but we don't expect to lose games at Old Trafford and we definitely don't expect to lose games like we did.

“The first three games we were conceding far too many chances. So as a defensive unit, having kept the most clean sheets in Europe last season, we knew we had to improve to be more solid.

“We have worked hard on the training ground and since the international break we have gone back to not conceding chances like last year, when we were a solid unit and a solid base.

“It has been important, for me as a defender, to give the forward lads every opportunity to go and win the game. One, two, three goals it should end up in a win. At the moment we are doing that.

"It's a start, but it is still an early win in the season.

“It is going to be a long journey, but we've got to improve.

"We know that and we are doing so at the minute, but there is a long way to go."
