Harry Maguire is 'fed up' of criticism aimed at Victor Lindelof following Manchester United's draw with West Bromwich Albion.

Maguire was unhappy with Mbaye Diagne not being called for a foul on Lindelof when he outmuscled the Swede to score Albion's second-minute opener.

When asked if he was frustrated with United going behind early, Maguire told MUTV: "Of course it is, it's a big frustration, we know the first goal is crucial when you come to this place, but again, it's a foul.

"I'm fed up of hearing Vic can do better. Of course he can do better and I know he can.

"But I'm fed up hearing, 'people can do better', 'David [De Gea] can do better on the cross'… it's a foul from Billy Sharp on David, if a big striker is wrestling Vic and then puts his arms all over him and heads it into the back of the net, of course he can do better, but it's a foul.

"When are we going to get these decisions? As defenders and goalkeepers you expect a fair decision.

"I know Vic will be disappointed in there and I'm sure he's probably getting criticism, he knows he can do better, but it's a foul, we shouldn't be speaking about this."
