Confirmed: Maguire’s Man Utd Career ‘Coming To An End’ As Star Push For January Exit

Maguire’s Man Utd Career ‘Coming To An End’ As Star Push For January Exit

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Manchester United Captain, Harry Maguire could leave the club during the January transfer window if he fails to secure a regular playing time under Erik ten Hag, according to Stan Collymore.

The England international has seen his position in the team come under threat following the summer arrival of Lisandro Martinez, who followed Ten Hag to Old Trafford from Ajax.

Maguire has suffered an alarming dip in form over the past 12 months and his struggles were only exacerbated during England’s 3-3 draw with Germany over the international break.

Gareth Southgate was forced to defend the centre-back from heavy criticism after he made two costly errors that led to goals.

But the 29-year-old now faces a fight to win back his place at Old Trafford after Martinez, a £56m signing from Ajax, was brought in to feature alongside Raphael Varane at the heart of Ten Hag’s backline.

Collymore believes that Maguire can prove to his manager he is willing to battle for a place in his starting XI by impressing in lower-profile matches.

But the former Liverpool striker, now a radio pundit, has predicted he will be forced out of Old Trafford and could soon be looking for a new club.

“He does stand a chance of coming in during domestic cup matches, and Ten Hag may even throw him in with the Under-23s to keep him ticking over,” Collymore told CaughtOffside. “And although I expect Maguire to be a good enough professional to get his head down and do whatever is asked of him, I think his time at Old Trafford is ultimately coming to an end.

“Maguire’s agent is Paul Stretford, who was also my agent when I was a professional player, so I know Stretford will not want his star client sitting there not doing much. He will know that he has a real big asset on his hands, so he will want him to be playing.”

Maguire, who cost a world-record £80m from Leicester City in 2019 when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in charge, is likely to be named in Southgate’s squad for the World Cup in Qatar in November.

And Collymore thinks that will give the Englishman an ideal opportunity to put himself in the shop window to earn a move away from United.
