On November 2, 2019, Manchester United suffered a 1-0 defeat at Vitality Stadium against Bournemouth, a result that left their defender Harry Maguire disappointed.

Maguire pointed out that the team's attack-line was wasteful in the opening exchanges of the match, failing to capitalize on numerous clear goal-scoring chances.

Joshua King's strike on the stroke of half-time proved to be the decisive goal, handing Bournemouth a vital victory at home.

Despite efforts to muster a comeback after the interval, United's substitute Mason Greenwood and Scott McTominay were unable to find the back of the net.

In a post-match interview with MUTV, Maguire expressed his disappointment, stating, "[We are] disappointed. We conceded at an awful time at a stage where we started the game really well."

He further added, "The first 20 minutes we were well on top, we have got to score in that period, with numerous chances. The quality in the final third wasn't good enough to create a real clear cut chance."
