Harry Maguire signs new one-year contract at Man Utd

Former captain Harry Maguire has signed a new one-year contract with Manchester United, with the option to extend for a further year. The 33-year-old central defender's current deal was due to expire at the end of this season. It is thought Maguire's basic salary has been reduced but that the deal contains clauses that could see him earn more overall if the club qualifies for the Champions League. Maguire joined Manchester United from Leicester City for £80m in 2019 - a world record transfer fee for a defender. He has made 266 appearances for United, winning the League Cup in 2022-23 and the FA Cup the following season. "Representing Manchester United is the ultimate honour. It is a responsibility that makes myself and my family proud every single day," Maguire said. "I am delighted to extend my journey at this incredible club to at least eight seasons and continue to play in front of our special supporters to create more amazing moments together." Maguire's time at Manchester United has been turbulent. He was appointed captain just five months after his arrival by former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but was later criticised by some despite continuing to be selected by the Norwegia
