Despite their win against Brentford on Saturday, Terrible news hits a Manchester United’s £190,000-a-week star as he is forced to leave the club following a decision made by the club’s manager Erik ten Hag. This decision is delayed by the fact that ETH’s job still sits on a fence.

Harry Maguire may leave Manchester United this summer if Erik ten Hag remains in charge, but reports suggest the defender will wait for the Dutch manager’s future to be determined before making a decision about his own career.

Maguire has been in solid form for United this season and was a reliable figure last term as well. Recently, he partnered with Jonny Evans, helping United secure a late draw at Porto with his goal and holding Aston Villa to a draw in the Premier League.

Their experience could be crucial as Ten Hag navigates a challenging period, amid reports that he wants the Sheffield-born defender out of the squad.

Maguire is reportedly waiting to see if there will be a managerial change at Old Trafford before committing to any potential move.

According to Football Insider, Harry Maguire intends to wait until Erik ten Hag is dismissed from Manchester United before deciding on his future at the club. The defender is interested in seeing if a new manager would give him a more prominent role.

While his £190,000-per-week contract is set to expire in June, with no extension talks underway, Maguire is prepared to let the contract run down if Ten Hag remains in charge, but could commit to staying if the Dutch manager is sacked.

Maguire’s Premier League statistics for the 2023/24 season show he ranks 12th in squad appearances (22), 7th in goals (2), and leads the team in aerial duels won per game (3.1). He is 2nd for clearances (3.8) and interceptions (1.1) per game, with a match rating of 6.87 (4th).

Ten Hag is reportedly pushing for Maguire’s exit, but there’s a chance the manager could be dismissed before making a final decision about the England international.

Despite a 2-1 victory over Brentford, United have only three wins from their first eight league games, currently sitting 11th. Although Ten Hag was given a new contract over the summer, the team’s inconsistent results have placed him under increasing pressure.

Potential replacements for Ten Hag include Eddie Howe, Gareth Southgate, and Thomas Tuchel, though Tuchel recently took over as England’s manager. Maguire’s experience could be crucial if the club sees further departures in defense, such as Jonny Evans or Victor Lindelof.

Harry Maguire was a key player for Manchester United early in his career, missing only 12 of the 114 possible Premier League matches during his first three seasons at the club.

However, his playing time has decreased over the years, and as he begins his sixth season, the former Leicester City defender finds himself behind newer signings like Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, and Lisandro Martinez in the pecking order.

With Bruno Fernandes leading the team as captain, Mark Goldbridge has suggested that the 32-year-old Maguire could start in place of Fernandes for United’s upcoming match against Fenerbahce.

Aside from Evans, Maguire, and Victor Lindelof—who is also expected to leave next summer—United’s other center-back options have just 53 combined Premier League appearances.

The extensive experience of Maguire (246 appearances) and Evans (383 appearances) could be crucial in securing points in tight matches.
