Man Utd captain Maguire: Brilliant playing with Lindelof

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is full of praise for defensive partner Victor Lindelof.

Maguire says the partnership is developing positively.

He told manutd.com: "It's been brilliant [playing with Lindelof]. We've had a good season up to now together. When you form partnerships it takes time, I'm learning his game and he's learning mine and I think we're getting better.

"We're keeping a lot more clean sheets than we were at start of season and we've never really been a team which has conceded a lot of chances. We've been poor from set-plays with our defending and we've had a couple of great goals scored against us from outside the box, but we haven't really been having games where David [De Gea] has had to make five or six saves apart from maybe the Carabao Cup second leg against City when David was brilliant.

"It's a partnership that's building and I think we'll get better and better, and start keeping more clean sheets like we have been doing recently."
