As the summer transfer window draws closer, Harry Maguire has made one request from the Manchester United board about his future at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim.

Harry Maguire joined Manchester United from Leicester City for a fee worth 80 million during the reign of club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjær. Maguire did well in his first season, playing every Manchester United Premier League game that season.

However, criticism and the pressure of playing for Manchester United got to him when things went from good to bad under Solskjær. Harry Maguire was dropped from being the club captain under Erik ten Hag.

The 32-year-old found his best form following the arrival of Ruben Amorim in November. The manager came in with a different idea, but Maguire has played and flourished in a back-three defence before, which is why he is doing great under Amorim.

Harry Maguire has played a big role in Manchester United’s success in the Europa League so far this season. He has also scored some crucial goals for Ruben Amorim this season, being deployed up front alongside strikers.

Harry Maguire wants a new contract

According to the Telegraph, Harry Maguire wants a new contract at the club, and he ideally wants to end his career at Old Trafford.

Manchester United’s plan under Erik ten Hag was to sell Harry Maguire and invest in a new centre-back. The club came close to selling him to West Ham United, but in the end, he stayed.

Harry Maguire wanted to stay at Manchester United and fight for his place in the starting line-up, and he has achieved that. Maguire is currently one of the most important players at the club.

However, his current contract with the club will end in June 2026, after the club triggered the one-year option in his deal, a few months ago. Manchester United will decide on Harry Maguire’s future, likely before his current deal expires.

“I think he [Maguire] sees himself differently. He believes in himself a lot. I think he should be congratulated and not me. He’s doing a very good job. He has to keep going like that,” Ruben Amorim speaks highly of Harry Maguire.

Harry Maguire is also seen as a leader in the team, although he is no longer the captain, but he has done well helping young players in the dressing room and giving them confidence.

Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho has sent a five-word message to Barcelona talent Lamine Yamal after his Champions League performance against Inter Milan.

Alejandro Garnacho is currently in Spain as they prepare to face La Liga side Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League semi-final first leg. The game is seen as the most important game of the season for the club.

Manchester United’s form in the Premier League this season is nowhere near good enough, and winning the Europa League trophy will help the club financially and boost their chance of signing top players in the summer.

While in Spain preparing for the Europa League game, Alejandro Garnacho was watching the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg between Barcelona and Inter Milan. A game which 17-year-old Lamine Yamal stole the show.

Lamine Yamal made his debut at the age of 15, under Spanish manager and Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez. The 2007-born winger is doing incredible things at his age, and top players are applauding him.

What did Garnacho say to Yamal?

Alejandro Garnacho has appreciated Lamine Yamal with a five-word message after the 17-year-old posted some moments from the game against Inter Milan with a caption “++++” Garnacho replied to him saying “Best player in the world” with a WOW emoji.

Alejandro Garnacho praises the talented winger after his incredible performance on the biggest stage. Although Garnacho was not the only player who praised Lamine Yamal last night, Manchester City’s Erling Haaland also praised him on his Snapchat account.

“I haven’t seen a player like Lamine Yamal in the last eight or nine years. We had to put three players on him.” Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi said after the game.

“As a pure football talent, I’m going as far as to say I think Lamine Yamal is on another level to any player playing the game in the top 5 leagues in world football. 17 years old – Truly unbelievable”. Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand said.

Some Manchester United fans are not happy with Alejandro Garnacho’s comment under Lamine Yamal’s post, but it’s normal to appreciate talent. Marcus Rashford and Yamal followed each other on Instagram, and both players have praised themselves on multiple occasions.

Alejandro Garnacho has had a lot of goal contributions this season, but he knows he still has work to do. Although the team is still adapting to a new system under Ruben Amorim, but will be hoping to end the season with the Europa League trophy.

Manchester United have been linked with a move for top players this summer, but in order to bring them in, the club may need to qualify for UEFA Champions League football next season.

Multiple reports have stated that the likes of Viktor Gyokeres and Liam Delap are waiting to see which European competition the club qualifies to play next season before deciding on their future. Both strikers has a release clause that can be triggered.

“I didn’t talk to Viktor [Gyökeres], but if a player only wants to join Manchester United to play the Champions League, then that player will not come to United. We want players who want to represent United and not players who wanna play only certain competitions,” Ruben Amorim told SportTVPortugal.

Speaking to the media ahead of the Europa League first-leg clash against Manchester United, Ernesto Valverde has been talking about the Red Devils and their potential threat.

The Spanish manager believes his team needs to be aware of some of Manchester United’s players and also how good the team is from set-pieces and shots.

There are many things we need to consider with Manchester United. They are very good at set-pieces with Rasmus Hojlund, Harry Maguire, and De Ligt, if he plays, and shooters like Bruno Fernandes. They are a big team and have big capabilities. If you focus on one thing, you forget about the others,” Ernesto Valverde said.

Rasmus Hojlund, Harry Maguire, and De Ligt were mentioned by the 61-year-old, who believes that they are dangerous men from set-pieces. Despite Hojlund’s recent form, the manager knows he can make it happen when given a chance.

“Manchester United are in a position in the Premier League which is unexpected, but we need to bear in mind we play one of the biggest teams in Europe. They can win the Europa League in a minute.” The former Barcelona manager added.
