Man Utd defender Maguire: Beating Chelsea on debut just great

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire admits he values his winning debut at the start of the season.

United thrashed Chelsea 4-0 on the opening day.

Maguire told manutd.com: "It was obviously my debut and a great debut with a result like that. Four goals, a clean sheet and starting to build a partnership with Vic (Lindelof)… as he said we'd only trained together two/three days so we had a couple of chats of how we wanted to play.

"Partnerships build and grow and I feel that's happened with me and Vic. There's no doubt about it that in recent months we've kept numerous clean sheets when we've played together and over 10 games or so across December and January we had six or seven clean sheets so it's building and things look promising and I'm sure we'll get better."
