The Red Devils are hoping to regain their confidence after their 5-0 thrashing by Liverpool on Sunday.

Manchester United are struggling to find their form in the current season. A mixture of narrow wins and optimism toward their new signings kept the Red Devils going for a little while, but it all turned into a nightmare when they faced the Reds on Sunday.

Ahead of his side’s next Premier League match against Tottenham on Saturday, Harry Maguire reveals there have been “big discussions” in Man United’s dressing room since the defeat.

“It’s a tough one to move on from but we need to move on,” Maguire told ManUtd.com.

“It’s been a tough week obviously, you can’t just brush these things aside, especially when you lose to your rivals. To lose in the manner that we did was so disappointing.

“We’ve obviously had big discussions, we’ve analysed the game and the goals and looked at how we can do better and improve.”

The Red Devils will face the Spurs without the service of Paul Pogba, who was sent off during the game against Liverpool.

Asked how the players are dealing with the situation, the 28-year-old responded: “We know as a group of players we need to make sure we’re together and we’re positive,

“There are lots of games to play in the Premier League, we’re in a strong position in the group in the Champions League and we’re still early on in the season. And it’s a season in which we know we can still achieve things.

“That’s the most important thing now, we need to come together as a group and a club. We know our fans will be with us and come Saturday at Tottenham, like I said, they will be there in their numbers and I’m sure they’ll be singing and chanting and be right with us and getting behind us.”
