Harry Maguire warned there's "no guarantee" over Man Utd place despite keeping captaincy

Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson has warned Harry Maguire there's "no guarantee" he will play regularly under Erik ten Hag at Manchester United... despite keeping the captaincy.

Ten Hag has confirmed Maguire, 29, will remain as skipper this coming season, ending weeks of speculation. The Englishman made his first appearance for the new manager on Friday, conceding a goal inside five minutes during the 4-1 win against Melbourne Victory.

Maguire struggled for form last term as United conceded 57 goals in the Premier League - four more than relegated Burnley. Ten Hag has decided to put his faith in the centre-back, but Lawrenson believes it's too early to tell if Maguire will play week in, week out.
