Harry Maguire credited the Old Trafford for lifting Manchester United to a dramatic comeback victory over Atalanta.

The Red Devils were down 2-0 at half-time but roared back in the second stanza thanks to goals from Maguire, Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Maguire conceded United's first-half was not up to standard, but said his team still had to celebrate what was a 'tremendous' win.

"The first half we conceded two bad goals," Maguire said after the game. "Two big moments in the game. For the first they caught us out and then the second it is a set-play that we shouldn't be conceding.

"We created a lot of chances in the first half so we knew at half-time that the next goal would be crucial. We got the goals we needed and deserved and I think we deserved the win in the end. Yes, we made it difficult but it is a tremendous victory in the end.

"We were two goals down and we need to sharpen up with that. But we had plenty of chances. I think Marcus [Rashford] had two one-on-ones in the first-half. We are working hard to be more solid but it is about winning and the last three or four games we have conceded too many set-pieces.

"It is fine margins but we need to do better. We showed great togetherness. We were clapped off at half-time by some of these fans and they gave us the belief we needed."
