Erik ten Hag Provides Update on Harry Maguire’s Injury Ahead of Liverpool Clash

Maguire sustained an injury in United’s recent Champions League loss to Bayern Munich, leaving Ten Hag without the defender for upcoming matches, including the crucial clash against Liverpool.

Despite the setback, the manager expressed optimism that Maguire’s absence would not be prolonged, hinting at potential gaps in the lineup against West Ham United and Aston Villa.

The 30-year-old, regaining a key role in the team, faces a temporary setback after a series of full 90-minute performances in the Premier League.

Contrary to previous beliefs, it has been disclosed that Varane, not Maguire, is now more likely to depart from Manchester United, given the revelation that Varane’s contract concludes in June, not 2025 as initially understood.

West Ham’s pursuit of Maguire during the summer, marked by a £30m bid, ended in a stalemate over financial terms with United.

On a more positive note for United fans, Ten Hag provided reassuring news about Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford, indicating their potential inclusion in the starting lineup for the upcoming match at Anfield, where United faced a 7-0 defeat last season.
