As a result, it was the 'misjudgment' of former Manchester United coach Erik ten Hach.
Center back Harry Maguire, who suffered humiliation under coach Ten Hach, has been extended his contract with Manchester United for another year. Manchester United activated the option of extending its one-year contract with Maguire on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time).
Maguire's contract with Manchester United was due to end after this season. Maguire's contract increased to June 2026 as United exercised a one-year extension option.
Manchester United acquired Maguire for a record transfer fee of 80 million pounds (about 146 billion won) in 2019. It wasn't a bad start, with an early appointment as captain, but a decisive mistake hampered him.
Maguire was eventually pushed back to the backup after Ten Hach took the helm. The captaincy was also deprived. He was on the verge of a move to West Ham in the summer of 2023. However, all kinds of humiliation also chose to try again at Manchester United.
Coach Ten Hag invested nearly 100 million pounds (about 183 billion won) to replace Maguire. He signed Lisandro Martinez, who was with Ajax, as soon as he took the helm of Manchester United in 2022. He paid 56.7 million pounds (about 104 billion won) for the transfer.

Last summer, Kim Min-jae's Bayern Munich teammate Matthijs de Ligt was transfused. The transfer fee was 42.7 million pounds (about 78 billion won). Coincidentally, De Ligt is also from Ajax. Maguire showed off his robustness through a one-year extension.
Manchester United, which has lost four consecutive games, will play Liverpool at 1:30 a.m. on the 6th in the 20th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season. Coach Ruben Amorim said at a press conference against Liverpool on the 3rd, `We know the situation Maguire went through here. But we will happily exercise our contract extension option because we desperately need him now."
However, he also urged people to work harder. He "I spoke to Maguire this morning and said he needed to improve his game on the field. We really need him, but we need to grow as a leader as well," he stressed.
Maguire scored 12 goals in 222 appearances for Manchester United. He played only 16 games in the EPL in his first season under coach Ten Hach. His playing time was 759 minutes. Last season, he played 22 games in the EPL. He recorded 1650 minutes of playing time.
After coach Amorim took the helm, he played in seven games. Amorim was impressed by his outstanding performance in leading Manchester City to a 2-1 victory last month.
