Harry Maguire admits even he doesn’t know how he failed to score from a yard out, but Manchester United had a ‘frustrating’ draw with Milan.
The Red Devils had taken the lead against the run of play through an Amad Diallo header, but Simon Kjaer nodded in from a corner in stoppages.
The moment that went viral was Maguire somehow managing to hit the post from a few centimetres out.

The moment that went viral was Maguire somehow managing to hit the post from a few centimetres out.
“I don’t know how it didn’t go in, I’ve got to score, I’ve got to find more contact, I was on the stretch, tried to react quickly but I’ve got to find a way to put it into the back of the net, there are no excuses there," Maguire told MUTV.
“I had a big one, Dan had a big one in the second half they had quite a bit of the play but not the chances to go with it. At 1-0 we were in a great position and a set play has done us again.
“It was a frustrating evening throughout the 90 minutes, we didn’t play to our best, we got ourselves into a great position, [but] we’ve got to see it, we've got to do better, defend the set play.
“We sat a little bit deep and we weren’t good enough on the ball, but it looked like it would be 1-0 and it would be a good result for ourselves. But it’s only halfway in the tie.”
There was one bright spot for Manchester United, the debut goal of teenage former Atalanta youth product Amad Diallo.
“Probably the only positive of the night, he looked bright, credit to him, the goal gave him the confidence. He’s learning every day, working hard in training and he’s going to be a big player for us,” added Maguire.
