Harry Maguire has thanked Manchester United fans for helping him through his form crisis.

The defender was named the Premier League's Player of the Month for November.

He told United Review: "In football you don't go through a 15-year career without being sat on the bench at all. Last season probably was the first time in my career where I've had to do that.

“I said to myself I'd remain patient, I'd do everything I can off the field when I'm not playing to help the lads, because I play for this club for it to be successful, whether I'm playing or not.

“Every day I came to training, tried to drive the standards, drive the training, to make sure we were working at an intensity that enabled us to get three points. By doing that, I enabled myself to stay fit, stay ready, stay in a good, positive mindset and be ready to take my chance when it came."

Maguire added: “The support has been amazing, ever since I've come in and played this season. They've been amazing with me. I've really felt the love and the support on the pitch, and it's given me great confidence and belief in myself to go and perform well and help the team."
