Maguire renews with Man United. Amorim: "We need him"

Manchester, 4 January 2024 – Harry maguire will continue his adventure with the Manchester UnitedThe Red Devils coach himself revealed it Ruben Amorim, who, in the pre-press conference Liverpool, has announced that the English defender will still be a Man United player. It is now well known that the Red Devils are in crisis, with results not coming and Amorim who has not yet managed to make his team make the leap in quality. At the moment, Manchester United is in fourteenth place in Prime minister League, with just three points won in their last five games.

The Red Devils also lack a leader, which is why the renewal of the former Leicester player can be of help to Amorim. Maguire, in fact, arrived at Manchester United from the Foxes in 2019, for a fee of around 87 million euros. With the Red Devils, he has played 210 games so far, many of which as captain, becoming an important player for the club. On the eve of the match against league leaders Liverpool, Amorim spoke about the situation regarding the future of the central defender, saying he was happy with his renewal and highlighting his importance in the team. These were his words: "Maguire is about to renew with the club. When I spoke to him, I told him that he has to improve, both on the pitch and as a leader, but we need him. We all know the situation he has had here, but at this moment we need him, so we are happy to have triggered the option for the renewal". In the previous days, the English defender had spoken about the situation of Manchester United and the arrival of Amorim from Sporting, reiterating the team's trust in the coach and saying he was sure that the results of his work would soon begin to be seen. These are intense days for the Red Devils, both in terms of the rest of the season, with the challenge against Liverpool just around the corner, and in terms of the transfer market, with many question marks over several players in the squad. One above all is Joshua Zirkzee, former Bologna striker who failed to find his footing in Manchester and is set to be one of the hottest names in this winter transfer market, with the Juventus who seems to want to get serious about bringing the striker back to Italy. Among all these doubts, the first certainty for Amorim concerns the renewal of the number 5, who will continue his experience with the red devils at least until 2026 and will try to give a hand to the former coach of Sporting Lisbon to reverse the trend already in tomorrow's match, even if the opponent will be the most difficult of all.
