Harry Maguire, who used to be Manchester United's pet, proved a completely different position.
The British sports mall reported on the 6th (Korea time) 'Manchester United can sell all but four players'
Sports mall said 'Manchester United is in poor financial condition after this season, so it is highly likely that recruitment funds will be provided after the sale of the team. United's leaders will consider offers for all but Harry Maguire, Ahmad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes and Patrick Dorgu, he said.

Maguire is included in Manchester United's 'uns 'uns 'unsable'4 and has proved that he has cleared himself of the difficulties he has experienced over the past few seasons.
Maguire is one of England's representative defenders who joined Manchester United in 2019. In order to bring in Maguire, who was active in Leicester City at the time, Manchester United paid a whopping £80 million (about 140 billion won), breaking a new record for transfer fees for defenders. The record set by Manchester United and Maguire has yet to be broken, and Maguire remains the world's most expensive defender at the moment.
Maguire has continued to decline every season, failing to properly show the value of the transfer fee. He seemed to satisfy his expectations by playing in all 38 league games in his first season, but his shortcomings were noticeable every season as he gradually fell into a downward trend. From the 2020-2021 season, he began to be criticized by fans for frequent mistakes even though he was a main player, and received many opportunities in 28 games in the 2021-2022 season, but was evaluated as having the biggest stake in Manchester United's decline in the rankings.

Starting from the 2022-2023 season, he has been completely pushed out of the main position. Lisandro Martinez, newly recruited by Erik tenhach, was paired with Rafael Varane as the main center back, and Maguire lost his position in the team by only starting eight league games. Last summer, the captain's armband was handed over to Bruno Fernandes, and it was predicted that the transfer was virtually imminent.
Maguire chose to stay. He wanted to compete for a starting position at Manchester United even though he signed a contract that expires in the summer of 2025. Fortunately, Maguire played 32 games in the 2023-2024 season, along with injuries and sluggishness of other center backs, and his observant performance helped Manchester United's defense a little.
The turnaround has finally come this season. Maguire, who began to play the main role after taking office in Hoobeng Amorim, took the center stage of Manchester United's defense with a stable defense he showed in his heyday. His recent performance has been remarkable. In the first leg of the Europa League semifinals against Athletic Bilbao, he even showed dribbles and crosses reminiscent of Brazilian legend Ronaldinho. Along with their performance, Manchester United decided to keep Maguire in the next season.

Meanwhile, Maguire recently declared his life with Manchester United, saying he wanted to end his career. England's Telegraph said: "'Maguire wants to sign a new contract with Manchester United after this season, ideally ending his career at Manchester United. With his performance, Maguire's dream came one step closer to reality.
