Manchester United midfielder Harry Maguire believes his side were well deserving of their 1-0 win over Leicester City.

Despite United not creating many clear cut chances during the game, they were solid at the back and won a penalty that Marcus Rashford converted.

That goal was enough to give them all three points, despite some dangerous Leicester attacks in the second half.

"You have to realise partnerships are built on playing games and we have only had five games," Maguire told United's official club media after the game.

"We will get better. I will understand him more and he will understand me more.

"There probably will be times when we can do better but we will continue to work hard on the training pitch and that is really important to build relationships around the pitch - not just me and Victor.

"It is really important, as a defence, to keep a clean sheet. At Old Trafford, we need to keep clean sheets to win games, like in the first game of the season [against Chelsea], if we keep a clean sheet, we win.

"We have enough talent in attacking areas to score goals. So, as a back four, as a team, we are really pleased with that."
