Harry Maguire insists Man United's underperforming stars MUST take responsibility for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking as he calls on the squad to 'find the right mentality' for crucial Villarreal trip

Harry Maguire insists he and his Manchester United team-mates must shoulder the blame for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking, after the Norwegian was shown the exit at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The United skipper was sent off in Solskjaer's final game as boss – a humiliating 4-1 defeat by Watford at Vicarage Road – and Maguire insists the players must look at themselves for playing a big part in Solskjaer's dismissal.

Though Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Watford proved the final straw, Solskjaer's exit had seemed a matter of time after a string of bad results, highlighted by the 5-0 home defeat to Liverpool and the 2-0 derby loss to Manchester City.
