Erik ten Hag's blunt response tells Harry Maguire exactly where he stands at Man Utd

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has hinted that Harry Maguire's time at Old Trafford is coming to an end, telling the club captain that he has a decision to make on his future.

Maguire started the season at the heart of United's defence, but Ten Hag has gone with Raphael Varane and summer signing Lisandro Martinez as his preferred partnership. He also preferred Luke Shaw as his left-sided centre-back when Martinez picked up a season-ending injury, suggesting "the angles are not right" for the England international to start on that side.

United's skipper has started just five Premier League games since the World Cup, and just eight all season. And, while Ten Hag appreciates the former Leicester man's presence and leadership, he has hinted that he would understand if Maguire wants to move in search of regular first-team football.
