Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag says Harry Maguire is \u201cplaying like we want him to\u201d after a man-of-the-match performance in the 2-1 win at Sheffield United.<\/p>\n

Maguire started his second successive Premier League game and stood out against his former club at Bramall Lane as the Red Devils marked the death of Sir Bobby Charlton with three points.<\/p>\n

The England centre-half\u2019s career at Old Trafford appeared to be over after he was stripped of the captaincy and allowed to explore the possibility of signing for West Ham in the summer, but he was always committed to regaining Ten Hag\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n

I am happy with his performance<\/p>\n

He looks to be doing that now, with the Dutchman impressed by his Bramall Lane performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to say Harry is playing like we want him to play,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery proactive out of possession, dominating his opponent, stepping in when necessary, reading the game, good covering but also in possession very proactive, stepping in, delivering good passes, switching, yes, I am happy with his performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Red Devils hardly put in a fitting performance to remember Charlton by but they got the job done against a team who are yet to win this season.<\/p>\n

They went ahead against the run of play when Scott McTominay scored his third goal in two games but Oli McBurnie\u2019s penalty quickly levelled for the Blades before the break.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag\u2019s men improved after the interval and won it in the 77th minute through Diogo Dalot\u2019s curling effort.<\/p>\n

A long season is on the cards for the Blades, who have taken just one point from their opening nine games of the season.<\/p>\n

They have been hit hard by injuries, losing captain John Egan and vice-captain Chris Basham to serious knocks, and they suffered more bad news on that front.<\/p>\n

Anel Ahmedhodzic missed out with a hamstring injury, while McBurnie limped off with a groin problem.<\/p>\n

On Ahmedhodzic, boss Paul Heckingbottom said: \u201cIt\u2019s his hamstring. He jumped for a header in training and hurt his hamstring. He\u2019s had a scan. It will be weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOli\u2019s groin started impacting him. It was sore at half-time and we tried taping it up but you could see it was impacting him running.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had to bring him off because he was hindered by that but also to protect him as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
