Harry Maguire fears club are ‘targeting’ Manchester United at set-pieces
Cunha’s 58 minute opener came direct from a corner and United defender Maguire reckons it is becoming a weakness for his side.
He said: “To concede again, especially the first goal of the game set-plays are so important in football matches.
“They decide games, a lot of the games when they’re tight and they’re 50/50.
“The first goal has been a set-play far too many times against us and it’s disappointing.”
United conceded two goals from set-pieces against Arsenal and Tottenham’s Son Heung-min even scored direct from a corner.
United have conceded from ten corner this season.
Asked how they fix their set-piece problems, Maguire said: “Work, work, work more on the training pitch.
“I think teams now are maybe targeting our areas of set-plays. The strange thing is, I don’t feel like we’re conceding many chances from them.
“They’ve had a few set-plays tonight and we’ve dealt with them really well and they’ve gone and scored from one.

“I think it’s hard work, keep the belief, things will change. I know that. We have players who can defend the box well.
“They will change, we’ve just got to stick together.”
United now host Newcastle next but do so without Bruno Fernandes following his sending off at Wolves.
And manager Ruben Amorim said: “Of course, when you lose, when we don’t win, it’s a step back.
“It was really hard with the sending off. The goal was similar against Tottenham. Then, we tried.
“Even with one less guy we tried to and I think we were near something but then Wolves scored the second one.
“Then, in the end, we tried everything and the transition was 2-0. For us, let’s continue. “
