Harry Maguire has described playing for Manchester United as “the ultimate honour” after signing a one-year contract extension, with the option of a further season. The centre-back struggled under Ruben Amorim, putting his future into doubt, but he has become integral to Michael Carrick as United battle for a Champions League place.
The 33-year-old has agreed to a wage reduction, with his previous deal – which expires this summer – worth £190,000 a week. Maguire has been an ever-present since Carrick replaced Amorim and earned an England recall last month. He made two appearances in the friendlies, putting him in contention for the squad for this summer’s World Cup.
