The 2-1 Etihad triumph also eased pressure on boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Maguire, who skippered United on Saturday, said: “The top four is in sight but we just keep looking after our own results.

“Over the last month or so, as a defender, I look at the forwards and think they’re going to score.

“The front four in the first half was frightening.

“They’re a big threat, they’re top players, great talent and I think it’s all coming together now.

“But we’re not getting carried away. It’s a big three points, a special win.

“At the start of the season we didn’t really score more than one a game but we’re back to scoring.”

United are unbeaten in five Prem matches with their first back-to-back league wins since totally unravelling in March.

Centre-back Maguire, 26, added: “We feel this year we haven’t got results in some games where we deserved the three points.

“The last two games, I don’t think anyone can question we’ve deserved both victories.”
