​Man Utd skipper Maguire rues AC Milan miss: That's why I'm not a forward!

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire admits he should have scored against AC Milan.

The defender had a glorious chance to give his side a first half lead, but missed from a yard out with the goal empty.

United did take the lead through Amad Diallo in the second half, but had to settle for a 1-1 first leg result at home after a late Milan equaliser.

"I should have scored," Maguire skipper told BT Sport.

"I am not making any excuses for that one. I should have scored. I should have put it in the net.

"That's why I am a defender and not a forward!

"But no excuses I have got to score."
