index

 

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has admitted that the Red Devils were not good enough as they suffered a disappointing 2-0 league defeat to Arsenal on New Year’s Day. The Red Devils went into the game as the favourites with the Gunners struggling for form but it was the north London side which dominated the proceedings at the Emirates.

United managed to initially test the Gunners goalkeeper on a couple of occasions but barring that, they struggled to gain any stranglehold on the game with the hosts enjoying the better chances on goal. The Capital outfit managed to score only twice during the course of the encounter but they could have quite easily doubled that advantage with the chances conceded by the Red Devils.
