Manchester United defender Harry Maguire It suggested it was “strange” that the team conceded goals at set pieces.
The 31-year-old spoke after today’s defeat against Wolves and said he found it strange to see goals keep flying in from set-play when the Red Devils didn’t create many such chances.

United also conceded two goals against Arsenal recently, and the same happened in defeats against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth.
Maguire’s surprise is perhaps a bit of a concern, as the players and coaches they work with should probably know why other teams are doing better than them in this way.
Manchester United’s miserable season continues with the loss to Wolves
It will be interesting to see if MUFC can bounce back from this, but at the moment it looks like it’s going to be a long, long season at Old Trafford.
New manager Ruben Amorim has inherited a struggling side and perhaps hasn’t made the impact some fans were hoping for.
Even if it was always going to be a challenge for Amorim, the Portuguese tactician came with a big reputation after his great work at Sporting Lisbon.
After all, it’s not like this isn’t a squad full of big names and expensive signings, so it’s clear that this team as a whole has serious underachievement.
