Harry Maguire highlights new Manchester United strength gained in his absence

Harry Maguire believes the growing team spirit within the Manchester United squad is helping to get supporters behind them even further.

Following the humiliating 6-3 defeat to neighbours Manchester City at the start of October, United have been quietly rebuilding their confidence and have gone unbeaten in their nine fixtures since. Erik ten Hag's side has particularly improved defensively, conceding just once from open play in their last eight games.

There has also been a noticeable, growing sense of passion from the players, too, such as the wild scenes following Casemiro's late equaliser against Chelsea and the resolute way in which they held on to defeat West Ham United last week. Maguire returned to the side following a lengthy spell on the sidelines against the Irons and noticed the new-found camaraderie, which he believes is helping to bring fans and players closer together.
