Manchester United are in talks with Harry Maguire over new deal with existing contract due to expire in June.
Face to face meeting with his camp took place in the recent days and more will follow to discuss conditions.
MUFC happy with Maguire’s contribution + leadership.
United’s willingness to renew Maguire’s contract shows their desire to maintain stability within the club. Despite loosing his captaincy to Bruno Fernandes during Erik ten Hag’s tenure, Maguire continues to be a
steady influence on and off the pitch.
Softfootball in an earlier piece reported how Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe publicly backed Amorim despite United’s poor start to the Premier League season. Ratcliffe dismissed sack rumor’s while insisting that the club will remain patient with the Portuguese manager’s project.
United’s decisions to support Ruben Amorim and also to renew Maguire’s contract highlight the club’s commitment to continuity and belief in their current direction.
