Solskjaer backs Maguire to silence his critics

Solskjaer believes that, despite the recent criticism of Maguire and his side, the hunger and desire they continue to show stands them in good stead to bounce back, starting with this weekend's trip to Hertfordshire.

''As a team we have not performed at the standard we know we can do and the levels we need to be at,'' said the manager, as he addressed the media earlier today.

''Harry, as Gary [Neville] rightly said, is not one to hide on the treatment table, or try to find any excuse or sit out games. Harry is a top professional who wants to be there for the manager every single time.
