Man Utd captain Maguire: We must play to win at Leicester

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire says they'll go to Leicester City to win today.

United need just a point to guarantee they will be playing Champions League football next season, but a win for the Foxes coupled with a positive result for Chelsea against Wolves would see the Red Devils slip out of the top four.

Speaking to MUTV, Maguire said: "We won't be going to Leicester and playing for the draw, that's for sure. We'll go into the game wanting to win it. We want to get the three points; we'll approach it like we approach any other game.

“Maybe if we're drawing in the last couple of minutes, we might approach it a little bit differently but for sure we're going to go into the game and try to get the three points.

“We're sat third in the league and that's where we want to be by the end of Sunday."

Maguire has played every minute of United's Premier League campaign and he added: “It's something I do really take pride in, being available and looking after myself in order to play every game.

“It's important for a top defender to play every game. I've done it once in my career, at Leicester in my first season where I played every minute of every game, and it's been nice, touch wood, that I've stayed injury-free and not picked up any silly suspensions this season."
