Man UtdSigns contract extension
Maguire signed a new contract extending his stay at Manchester United until June 2027 with the option of a further year, according to the club. "Harry represents the mentality and resilience required to perform for Manchester United. He is the ultimate professional who brings invaluable experience and leadership to our young, ambitious squad. Harry, like everyone at the club, is completely determined to help Manchester United to achieve regular and sustained success," said Jason Wilcox, Manchester United director of football.
Analysis: Maguire joined United from Leicester City in 2019 and has now made 266 appearances for the Red Devils, winning both the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup during his time at Old Trafford. This season he has contributed one goal and one assist across 18 Premier League appearances, adding 71 clearances and three clean sheets to underline his continued value as a defensive presence.
Sent off in draw
Maguire was shown a straight red card during Friday's 2-2 draw against Bournemouth.
Analysis: Maguire committed a last-man foul in the 78th minute of Friday's clash, so he'll be forced to serve suspension in the next fixture against Leeds. While Lisandro Martinez (calf) could be back to join Leny Yoro at center-back in that game, the next option would be an inexperienced Ayden Heaven. After clearing his ban, Maguire will aim to bounce back to face Chelsea on April 18.
Overcomes illness
Maguire (illness) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Newcastle.
Analysis: Maguire has passed his testing and come through fit Wednesday, with the defender starting immediately after the illness. He seems keen to remain in this role, last missing a start Jan. 11.
Late call with illness
Maguire is questionable for Wednesday's match against Newcastle due to an illness, according to manager Michael Carrick. "Yeah, we're hoping so. We're working towards it. He wasn't feeling too good. We've still got a little bit of time before the game, and we will just have to see how he feels. So we'll obviously give him every chance. No, it wasn't injury, it's just he wasn't feeling too good. But we'll just have to see how he is today and tomorrow."
Analysis: Maguire is going to need some testing to be an option Wednesday, with the defender still feeling some drawbacks from the illness he suffered. He will get another day to recover and test his body, leaving him as a late call for the contest. He could very well see the start if an option, although the club will turn to Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven if he cannot go.
Suffering from illness
Maguire is a late call for Wednesday's call against Newcastle after coming off the field with an illness in Sunday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace, according to manager Michael Carrick, per Samuel Luckhurst of The Sun. '"He just wasn't feeling too well so hopefully he will be feeling better soon. Hopefully, ready for Wednesday."
Analysis: Maguire had to come off with only five minutes of play left Sunday, with the defender suffering from what has claimed to be an illness. This is something to watch for the club with a quick turnaround, as the defender is now a late call. If he were to miss time, the club would likely turn to Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven to start, with Lisandro Martinez (calf) another option if he can return from injury.
Keeps clean sheet versus Everton
Maguire had 10 clearances in Monday's 1-0 victory against Everton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 84th minute.
Analysis: Maguire kept his third clean sheet of the season Monday, all of which have come in his last six starts. He's filled in very well with Lisandro Martinez (calf) and Matthijs De Ligt (back) both out, providing stability at the back with both starting center backs out. He made a season-high 10 clearances and won nine duels versus Everton, proving to still be a valuable part of the Red Devils' backline.
Available from bench
Maguire (hamstring) was available from bench during Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Burnley, confirming he is back with for Manchester United.
Analysis: Maguire has cleared his long term hamstring injury since he was back in the match squad and available from the bench in Wednesday's draw against the Clarets. The center-back's return is a good news for the Red Devils since he will be an additional option in a backline that has been struggling with injuries in recent months. Maguire is expected to build his fitness gradually in the coming fixtures and his role will depend on the new coach expected to be named soon.
Still managed by medical staff
Maguire (hamstring) is still working with the medical staff and not yet ready to feature, coach Ruben Amorim said in the press conference. "We are still working with him, he is not available for this one."
Analysis: Maguire hasn't featured since early November, as he is still recovering from a hamstring injury. The center-back is still working with the medical staff, and no precise timeline has been given for his return. That said, a comeback within the month of January now seems most likely. Maguire was a regular starter in the backline prior to his injury, therefore his absence increases minutes for Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven in the back three.
Still not available
Maguire (hamstring) remains out for the time being, coach Ruben Amorim said in the press conference. "Maguire is out."
Analysis: Maguire will miss a fifth game in a row for the Red Devils since he hasn't yet fully recovered from his hamstring injury. His timeline to return is uncertain for the time being and is absence is a blow for the defense since he is a regular starter under coach Ruben Amorim when fully fit and available. Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro or Ayden Heaven are expected to see increased playing time while Maguire remains sidelined.
Unlikely against Wolves
Maguire (hamstring) will likely remain sidelined for Monday's clash against Wolves, according to the club.
Analysis: Maguire missed the last three games due to a hamstring injury suffered during the game against Spurs, and he will likely remain out for a fourth game in a row since coach Ruben Amorim didn't mention him in the press conference that happened after the game against the Hammers on Thursday. Until Maguire returns to full fitness, Lisandro Martinez and Leny Yoro will likely see increased playing time in the backline.
Will remain out
Maguire (hamstring) will remain out ahead of Thursday's match against West Ham, according to manager Ruben Amorim. "Harry is out."
Analysis: Maguire will continue his hamstring injury absence into the weekend with the defender ruled out for a third straight game. He still has no date for a return, with the manager giving little on his situation. He has only started in four of his 10 appearances due to a variety of injuries, and with Lisandro Martinez back in the fold, it's unclear what Maguire's role will be when fit.
Still not available
Maguire (hamstring) is still not an option for Sunday's clash against Crystal Palace, coach Ruben Amorim said in the press conference. "It will take a little bit longer and we are taking care of him. Harry, the same."
Analysis: Maguire hasn't yet fully recovered from his hamstring injury and will miss a second game in a row in the Premier League. The Englishman will hope to recover in time for the midweek clash against West Ham United, although he will need to compete with Leny Yoro for a starting role in the back three moving forward.
Won't play vs. Everton
Maguire (hamstring) won't play Monday against Everton, manager Ruben Amorim told media Friday. "Maguire is not ready."
Analysis: Maguire left the game against the Spurs before the international break with an apparent hamstring problem, and the issue will sideline him in this one. This means Leny Yoro will probably remain in the XI alongside Matthijs De Ligt and Luke Shaw at the back. Maguire has started in four of his eight Premier League appearances this season.
Suffers apparent hamstring issue
Maguire was forced off in the 72nd minute of Saturday's clash against Tottenham due to an apparent hamstring issue.
Analysis: Maguire asked for treatment while holding his hamstring before being forced off a few minutes later in Saturday's clash against Spurs. The injury appears to be minor, and he will have the whole international break to recover and return for the clash against Everton on Nov. 24. That said, if he had to miss more time, Leny Yoro would likely replace him in the back three.
Returns to bench Saturday
Maguire (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Maguire is on the bench Saturday after missing the club's previous match and being a late fitness decision. He had started three of the last five games prior to the setback and was beginning to re-establish himself in the XI. Maguire will have to wait for another opportunity to reclaim his place.
Uncertain for Nottingham match
Maguire (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's match against Brighton, according to manager Ruben Amorim. "The rest of the guys, we have one more day [of training], I don't know about Harry."
Analysis: Maguire was hopeful to be an option Saturday after missing the club's last match, but is now going to be a late call, probably needing to pass some testing to play. That said, Leny Yoro would be his likely replacement if he misses out again, as he was in the starting XI for the English defender's last outing. Maguire has started in three of their past five games and was finally starting to earn a role, so he will hope for his return Saturday.
Hopes to return this week
Maguire (undisclosed) missed Saturday's clash against Brighton due to injury but is expected to return in the coming days, coach Ruben Amorim said to the media. "He's not available for this one. Hopefully, he's going to join us next week, but we'll see. I hope to have him next week. It's a simple thing but you never know. And I don't like to take risks with players. It's the wrong thing for Harry and for the team-mates that are working."
Analysis: Maguire appears to be dealing with a minor injury that kept him out of Saturday's clash against the Seagulls. Coach Ruben Amorim hopes to have him back with the squad this week, which would be encouraging for the Red Devils given the team's positive momentum and Maguire having started three of his last four outings. If he were to miss more time, Leny Yoro would likely see an increased role in the back-three until Maguire recovers fully.
Ruled out vs. Brighton
Maguire (undisclosed) is not on the bench for Saturday's game against Brighton.
Analysis: Maguire was a late call for this fixture, but the veteran center-back won't be an option after failing to recover from a knock. This means Leny Yoro will start in the back three alongside Matthijs De Ligt and Luke Shaw.
Picks up injury concerns
Maguire is a late call for Saturday's match against Brighton, according to manager Ruben Amorim. "We have some doubts, we have some issues in the week with Harry. Nothing serious, and we will see tomorrow."
Analysis: Maguire has been dealt issues this week and now appears to need to pass some testing to be an option Saturday. This is something to watch for the club, as the defender started in three of their past four games. That said, if he were to miss out or start on the bench, Lenny Yoro would be likely to take over the starting role in the defense.
Scores dramatic winner at Anfield
Maguire scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 win over Liverpool.
Analysis: Maguire started his third game of the Premier League season. This was the defender's first shot on target of the season. The centre-back also made eight clearances as he helped prevent Liverpool's comeback in the game.
