Manchester United squad’s view on a possible new contract for Harry Maguire emerges: Reports
Manchester United find themselves in an intriguing transfer dilemma as the future of Harry Maguire dominates headlines. With his contract expiring in the summer, the veteran centre-back’s potential new deal has become a talking point at Old Trafford, not just among fans and pundits, but within the dressing room itself.
According to recent reports, members of the United squad are strongly in favour of extending Maguire’s stay. Sources suggest players consider it “madness” if the club does not offer him a new contract, praising his leadership and the positive influence he has on younger defenders. Although often the subject of fierce debate over the past few seasons, Maguire’s transformation under interim manager Michael Carrick has been significant. The Englishman has started multiple matches under Carrick, with United recording several wins and clean sheets in that period, a turnaround that has reinforced his value to the squad.
Maguire’s journey with United has been anything but linear. After making a world-record move for a defender from Leicester City F.C. in 2019, his time at Old Trafford was marked by initial promise, fluctuating form, and eventually a period out of favour that saw him stripped of the captaincy. But the defender’s resilience and determination have helped him claw his way back into the first-team picture. Recent performances, including strong displays alongside Lisandro Martinez and praise from club legends, have reshaped perceptions about his importance.
