"I have to laugh really, it's almost becoming a joke. We've seen it in plenty of games this season, when things are getting tough for Man United, what does he do? He turns to the bench, and brings on Harry Maguire to sure things up at the back. Now that's fine, I have no issue with making defensive changes if you're trying to hang on to a result."
"Amorim thinks Maguire's good enough to make a difference to the team when they're struggling, so why not play him from the start? That obviously then has an impact on his future, because why would he want to stick around if they're not recognising his value to the team? He's more than good enough to start regularly at this level, and he knows that, so I think he'll be considering his future and what other options he might have."
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire is out of contract at season's end and has started only four Premier League matches, spending most games on the bench. The club reportedly wants him to remain, but limited starting opportunities make a move for regular football likely. Critics point to a recurring pattern of the manager substituting Maguire when matches become difficult rather than selecting him from the start. That pattern raises questions about his value within the squad and could influence his contract decision. Maguire is considered capable of starting regularly at this level and will weigh options between a fringe role at United and a regular role elsewhere.
