Maguire Commits to Manchester United with New Contract
Manchester United's defender Harry Maguire has signed a one-year contract extension with an option for an additional 12 months. Maguire, 33, was set to become a free agent at the end of the season but will now extend his stay at Old Trafford into an eighth year. He expressed his enthusiasm, stating that he wants to be part of a special campaign next season. Maguire believes the club is on an upward trajectory and is eager to contribute to its success. He has been an ever-present figure in the team since Michael Carrick took charge, helping the club rise to third in the Premier League. Maguire recently earned an England recall, his first international appearance in 18 months, and is determined to make next season a memorable one. He emphasized the importance of finishing the current season strongly to set the team up for success in the upcoming year. Maguire's new deal follows his England recall and a significant upturn in form, with Manchester United losing only one of their last 10 games. He has started every game under Carrick and is keen to leave a lasting legacy at the club. Maguire's contract extension is a testament to his commitment to the team and his desire to be part of a successful campaign. Director of football Jason Wilcox praised Maguire, highlighting his professionalism, experience, and leadership. Maguire has made 266 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 17 goals, and has won the FA Cup and League Cup during his time at the club. His new contract will take him into an eighth season at Old Trafford, and he is eager to create more memorable moments with the team.
