Erik ten Hag warns Harry Maguire about Man Utd captaincy as he makes decision on future

Erik ten Hag has warned Harry Maguire the Manchester United captaincy will not be enough for him to win back his place.

Maguire was benched for United's 2-1 win over Liverpool and is set to be among the substitutes against for Saturday's lunchtime clash at Southampton. Although Ten Hag has no plans to take the captaincy off Maguire, he told the 29-year-old defender he must fight his way back into the team.

Maguire, who wants what is best for United, knows he faces a challenge to win back his place, but those close to him say the defender is determined to do so. Bruno Fernandes wore the captain's armband against Liverpool, with Ten Hag set to stick with Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez in central defence on Saturday.
