This winter, Harry Maguire extended his contract with Manchester United until the end of the 2025/26 season. An absolutely incredible development, considering that this was the player Erik ten Hag did everything to squeeze out of the club. Stripping of the captain’s armband, the English centre-back giant continued to bend his neck, work hard and seize opportunities when they came. Ten Hag was weighed too lightly in October 2024, while big Harry was given new status at Amorim. This summer, Maguire is in the driver’s seat.
Maguire became a key player for United after Ruben Amorim’s arrival. In fact, at times he was often thrown into attack thanks to his extreme abilities in aerial duels in front of opponents’ goals. The dramatic winning goal in the 5-4 win in the Europa League quarter-finals against Lyon showed Maguire’s fighting qualities.

According to the Daily Mail, 5 clubs have knocked on United’s door, but all approaches have been rejected.
The English media claims Harry Maguire envisions extending his contract with United and ending his career at Old Trafford, something Manchester United are said to have sent signals they are opening up to.
