David de Gea has admitted Harry Maguire has not been playing 'as much as he wants' at Manchester United this season. Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez have become the first-choice centre-back pairing at Old Trafford with Erik ten Hag in charge, but the Dutchman named both players on the bench for United's match against Leeds on Sunday afternoon.
Luke Shaw and Maguire were preferred in the centre instead, which meant the latter was given just his fifth start of the Premier League campaign, and they managed to record a clean sheet for the Reds' 2-0 victory in West Yorkshire.
De Gea also played his part in preventing Leeds from scoring and he reflected on the performance after the full-time whistle.
