Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has ruled out the idea of Harry Maguire returning to his long-time position of left-centre-back following Lisandro Martinez's season-ending injury.
Martinez suffered a broken metatarsal during United's 2-2 draw against Sevilla on Thursday. With Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw also unavailable, Ten Hag was forced to call on club captain Maguire and Victor Lindelof against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Maguire and Lindelof are used to playing alongside each other at centre-back, with Maguire featuring on the left and Lindelof on the right throughout Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's time in charge of the Red Devils. Yet the Norwegian's successor Ten Hag is reluctant to play Maguire on the left and explained why after the 2-0 win against Forest at the City Ground.
