Harry Maguire remains optimistic for Man Utd despite third consecutive defeat at Wolves

Wolves’ first goal at Molineux was an eerie, awkward repeat of a goal United recently conceded at Tottenham Hotspur, when Altay Bayindir was beaten by a direct corner from Son Heung-min.

This time, Matheus Cunha outwitted Andre Onana with a similar performance and Maguire said the Reds would have to work harder to overcome our current problems with set pieces – even if most corners and free kicks were defended sensibly.

“When something like this happens again and again you can’t really put it down to luck, but it’s hard to accept that teams have scored twice from a corner. I think it’s a foul on Tottenham, that’s very clear. I haven’t seen that yet.” back.

“Sometimes with set pieces you have to hold your hands up and say there’s not much you can do about it, but there are others where you have to look at yourself and do better. I think the Bournemouth ((scored by Dean Huijsen) was tough – a great header, a great ball. Tonight it’s disappointing to be without 10 men, not really giving them anything, they look really solid in the second Half time and conceding again (this way), especially in the first half of the game.

“Set pieces are so important in football games and they decide games. In many games where the score is close and the score is 50:50, the first goal decides the game. The first goal against us was far too often a set piece, and it’s disappointing.
