WHAT HAPPENED?
Maguire was very unlikely to stay at Manchester United this summer after his devastatingly poor season at Old Trafford under Erik ten Hag. However, after his transfer links with the likes of West Ham amongst other clubs went nowhere, the former Red Devils captain decided to stay at the club and turn around his situation.
Getty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Despite Manchester United's abysmal start to the season which saw Ten Hag sacked and replaced, Maguire has shown quite a bit of experience and skill and has been one of the Red Devils' most consistent performers. The 31-year-old's performances have helped him hold 'positive' contract renewal talks with United.
Speaking to the media, Maguire said: “I haven’t really thought about it. I’ve still got this year to go with an option in their hands. But all the signs are positive at the moment and the chat that I’m having is really positive.”
Getty Images SportWHAT AMORIM SAID
Maguire has played a pivotal role under Amorim and after Manchester United's 2-1 win over local rivals Manchester City, the Portuguese coach couldn't help but praise the defender.
Amorim said: “[Harry] Maguire is perfect when you play with the three defenders. I think in the middle [he] is perfect. Then the way that the striker that they have [Erling Haaland] with the long balls, you need to be really strong and so was perfect for him. Not just Harry, all the guys, defend really well. They were really focused and that is the key to play better. I think he did a great job and also his team-mates did a great job.”
WHAT NEXT FOR MAGUIRE?
While Amorim has been switching up his squad from matchday to matchday, Maguire has been one of the regular starters and will likely be a starter when Manchester United take on Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, December 19.
