It's a dramatic twist. Harry Maguire (31), who was once Manchester United's captain and the core of England's national football team's defense, was treated as a rotation member and almost kicked out of the team, has made a splendid comeback.
With the strong trust of newly appointed coach Huveng Amorim, he also regained his main position, and furthermore, his contract with Manchester United was extended by one year. Amorim wanted him.
British media Mirror reported on the 4th (Korea time) 'Amorim has confirmed the final decision on the future of Manchester United and Maguire' Manager Amorim himself made a final statement on the extension of the contract that Maguire will remain at Manchester United for another year.
Maguire joined Manchester United for 80 million pounds (about 146.3 billion won) in Leicester City in 2019 and enjoyed his prime. He was Manchester United's main centre-back and captain. It was also a symbol of England's national football team's defense led by manager Gareth Southgate.

There was also a risk of leaving the team. During the summer 2023 transfer market, they agreed with West Ham for a fee of £30 million, but the transfer was canceled as Maguire expressed his willingness to stay with the team and fight to regain his position.
Maguire put up with it. And since former coach Ten Hach was replaced in November last year, he has become more utilized again under coach Amorim, who took the helm. In coach Amorim's three-back system, he showed off his stable defensive skills and gradually restored his past carry and leadership.
In the end, Maguire dramatically succeeded in staying at Manchester United just before the contract expired. This is what director Amorim himself said.
Originally, Maguire was due to expire in June. In other words, at this point, it is already possible to freely negotiate transfer negotiations with other clubs. However, coach Amorim caught Maguire.
