Maguire’s Role at Manchester United

Despite making 27 Premier League appearances last season and netting a single goal, Maguire has not established himself as the preferred option in defence under manager Ruben Amorim. Nonetheless, Amorim is keen to retain the English international, highly appreciating his experience and leadership qualities within the squad.

Player Commitment and Contract Situation

The 32-year-old defender has informed interested Saudi clubs of his intention to complete the final year of his contract at Manchester United. Maguire has expressed willingness to consider his options in the summer following the expiration of his current deal, and he has stated recently that, should the club desire, he is open to remaining at Old Trafford beyond 2026.
