Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is embarrassed by the club's record on scoring from corners.

United overcame Leeds United in a thrilling 4-2 at Elland Road.

Maguire opened the scoring when he headed in United's first Premier League goal from a corner for the first time since April 2021 against Burnley.

"I'm embarrassed by the stat," Maguire said.

"I'm a big part of that set play routine but as a team we've been nowhere near good enough. If we scored more from set pieces we'd be higher up the table."

He added: "[The conditions] were really bad. We came out at the start of the second half and tried to play the same way, but got caught in it.

"It was old school, I'm sure it was good to watch but thankfully we came out on top."
