Maguire Commits to Manchester United with New Deal

Manchester United's defender, Harry Maguire, has extended his stay at Old Trafford by signing a new one-year contract, with an option for an additional 12 months. The 33-year-old's previous deal was set to expire at the end of the season, but he will now remain at the club for an eighth campaign. Maguire expressed his enthusiasm, stating that he believes Manchester United is 'in a forward curve' and is eager to be part of a special season next year. Since Michael Carrick took charge, Maguire has been a constant presence, helping the team rise to third in the Premier League and earning an England recall. Maguire's new contract comes after he featured in both March internationals, raising hopes of making Thomas Tuchel's World Cup squad. He has started every game under Carrick, losing only one of 10 games, and is confident that the team can achieve great things. Maguire said, 'Representing Manchester United is the ultimate honour... I am delighted to extend my journey at this incredible club.' Director of football Jason Wilcox praised Maguire, saying he 'represents the mentality and resilience required to perform for Manchester United.' Maguire's new deal will take him into an eighth season at Man Utd, having joined from Leicester in August 2019 for £80m. He has won the FA Cup and League Cup in his seven years at Old Trafford, making 266 appearances and scoring 17 goals.
