Rio Ferdinand has urged Harry Maguire to leave Manchester United after Luke Shaw was once again preferred to him at centre-back for the Red Devils' Premier League clash against Wolves. United's usual first choice left-back has been deputising alongside Raphael Varane in the centre of defence with Lisandro Martinez given time off after Argentina's World Cup triumph.
Erik ten Hag opted to play Shaw ahead of Maguire, who had missed the Carabao Cup win over Burnley a week prior through illness, for United's first league game since the World Cup against Nottingham Forest. The 27-year-old was largely untroubled as United rode out comfortable winners with Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Fred all on target against Forest.
Four days later, Ten Hag named the same partnership in defence for United as they took on Wolves in the early kick on New Year's Eve, a decision which surprised United legend Rio Ferdinand who went on to make quite the demand aimed at Maguire.
