Harry Maguire was a regular for much of his career at Manchester United - but he has been usurped in the starting XI this season amid concerns regarding his defensive play
Manchester United's coaching staff still have concerns over Harry Maguire's defensive qualities as the club captain continues to struggle for minutes.
Maguire was a stalwart throughout the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era and even in the face of criticism with the club struggling, always retained his role. But with Erik ten Hag in charge, the Englishman has fallen out of favour as Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez are preferred at the back.
The defender moved from Leicester for a world-record fee in 2019 but has struggled to justify his price tag. Those at Carrington remain concerned that Maguire continues to rush out of the backline in order to win challenges, which isn't always successful and harms their defensive structure
