Harry Maguire

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire will be sold by the club next summer, if Erik ten Hag gets his way, according to Rio Ferdinand.

Sometimes life in the United goldfish bowl is not to everyone’s liking – and perhaps it has all got a bit too much for the Sheffield-born star. Just because they paid £80million for him, he has to be the best in the world every match? That indifferent form during the 2021/22 season saw United labour home to a sixth-placed finish. Following an alleged altercation in Mykonos, he was given a suspended jail sentence of 21 months and 10 days. “They require too much of him. “If you want to win the World Cup it’s impossible to do it with some problems in the key players, and for sure Maguire is one of the key players of the team.” But for United his career really is on the wane and a move away in 2023 will give him the fresh start that he needs. Despite his struggles at United, Maguire has retained his place in the England squad for the latest Nations League games. “He loves football and wants to play, and he’ll have an open and honest conversation with the manager.” “I think he’ll want to go, if he isn’t playing I don’t think he wants to sit there – there are other people who have chosen to sit there when they aren’t playing and that’s fine, but I don’t think Harry Maguire is one of those guys.
