With key center-backs, Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez out of action due to injuries sustained during their Europa League draw with Sevilla, Maguire’s presence in the squad has become even more crucial.
During the January transfer window, Maguire attracted interest from several top European clubs, with his future at United seemingly uncertain. Inter Milan reportedly made a loan bid for the defender, but according to The Sun, Ten Hag blocked the exit and pledged to give the United captain more first-team opportunities.

Maguire has had to wait patiently for his chance, but his performance during United’s recent 2-0 victory over Everton earned him praise from his manager. Ten Hag noted that the England star had taken more initiative, dominated his opponent, and stepped in to bring passes, contributing to a great performance.
With United competing in the Premier League, FA Cup, and Europa League, Maguire’s presence in the squad has become even more crucial amid injury issues. Ten Hag‘s decision to block his exit has proven to be a masterstroke, preventing the club from being left short in central defence and avoiding needing players out of position or bringing in an untested young player.
With their injury list growing, Maguire’s performances will be vital in helping Man Utd achieve their targets.
