Manchester United centre-back Harry Maguire has affirmed that second place "is not good enough" for a club of the Red Devils' stature.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side delayed Manchester City's title coronation on several occasions, but they ultimately finished the 2020-21 Premier League campaign twelve points adrift of their runaway neighbours.

United could still round off the season with silverware should they overcome Villarreal in Wednesday's Europa League final, but Maguire has insisted that improvements need to be made domestically.

Speaking to Gary Neville on The Overlap, Maguire said: "I think we are improving. From last season to this season we are definitely improving.

"We've actually been on a good run ourselves and I think the run Manchester City have been on has just been incredible. You have got to give them credit. They broke away with something like 20-odd games on the bounce.

"We dropped some silly points in silly games. We know we can do better in some games and be a bit more ruthless in others, and really have great belief in the bigger games that we can go and win that game.

"But the main thing is improvement. We've got to be winning Premier League titles. Second isn't good enough, and I'm sure the lads all agree on that."

Maguire is fighting to recover from an ankle problem in time for the Europa League final, although he has been included in the travelling squad for Gdansk. body check tags ::
