Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has now spoke out about his future at Old Trafford just months after being linked with a move to Newcastle United.

The 30-year-old looked almost certain to leave Man United during the summer transfer window, having been stripped of the captaincy by Erik ten Hag. He came close to a move to West Ham, only for that deal to collapse.

There was also a lot of noise about interest from Newcastle. It was reported late in the window that the Magpies could make a move for Maguire, after Sven Botman had suffered an injury during the defeat to Liverpool.

There was never anything concrete, but the names ‘Maguire‘ and ‘Newcastle United‘ did continuously find themselves next to each other in the gossip columns. We even saw pundits suggesting that the pair would be a good fit, with Shay Given hinting that Eddie Howe had made a mistake not making a move.

Since the transfer window has closed, Maguire has barely featured for Man United. He has started just one Premier League game, and it sounds like he will not put up with his lack of minutes for much longer.
