Harry Maguire faces an uncertain future at Manchester United with the club yet to open formal talks over a contract extension. The defender, whose current deal expires this summer, has attracted interest from clubs in Italy and Turkey, though his recent match-winning performances against Arsenal and Manchester City have strengthened his case for a new deal at Old Trafford.
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has showered caretaker boss Michael Carrick with praise for "galvanising" the Red Devils following Sunday's 3-2 win over Premier League leaders Arsenal at the Emirates. The win follows on from Manchester United's 2-0 victory over Manchester City in Carrick's first game in charge, making it a brilliant start to life back at Old Trafford for the former midfielder.
Manchester United legend Paul Parker has taken aim at defensive pair Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw, telling the duo 'it's time to move on'. Centre-back Maguire made his first league start since their 2-2 draw with Tottenham in November in Saturday's 2-0 win over rivals Manchester City as the towering centre-back partnered Lisandro Martinez at the heart of the defence, while left-back Shaw returned to his natural position.
Manchester United's interim head coach Michael Carrick has slammed the door on a January exit for Harry Maguire, with reports stating that the Red Devils have rejected 'several approaches' for the England defender this month. AC Milan and multiple Premier League clubs are said to have shown an interest but United will reject all approaches for the 32-year-old this month, with his current contract expiring at the end of the season.
Manchester United are reportedly eyeing up a Nottingham Forest star as a potential Harry Maguire replacement. The England centre-back is out of contract at Old Trafford this summer, with the 32-year-old set to become a free agent. As the Red Devils continue to look to sign young talent, they have turned their attention to an in-demand Premier League defender.
In an interview with The Business podcast released on October 9, Manchester United part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe vowed that Ruben Amorim would get "three years to demonstrate he is a great coach", while stressing the need for patience in the club's "long-term plan". Yet here we are, barely three months later, and Amorim has been unceremoniously kicked out of Old Trafford, with United having communicated their belief that "it is the right time to make a change" in order to "give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish".
Manchester United players have jumped onto social media channels to thank Ruben Amorim and wish him well for the future after he was sacked in dramatic fashion during an early-morning meeting with club bosses. And while there was clearly lots of warmth towards the exiting manager from most of the squad, there was silence from a few other notable United stars.
Ruben Amorim has confirmed there is still “no decision” on the futures of Harry Maguire and Casemiro, as Manchester United edge closer to a potentially delicate contract crossroads. Both players are approaching the final months of their current deals, leaving uncertainty hanging over two figures who have revived their form under the Portuguese head coach.
Ruben Amorim has sought to explain why Manchester United have not yet opened talks with Harry Maguire about a new contract. Maguire scored the goal which gave United their first away win at Liverpool for nine years but his future with the Red Devils is in doubt as he is into the last year of his contract. From January, he will be allowed to speak to foreign clubs about joining as a free agent.
