Harry Maguire has warned that he could leave Manchester United if he doesn't get more first-team chances. The England center-back has started just one league game this season and has been stripped of the United captaincy.
West Ham United were keen to sign Maguire in the summer but the two clubs were unable to agree on a fee. Injury issues have decimated United's defence in the opening months of the season, and Maguire was handed his first start against Brentford on Saturday.
Maguire is determined to keep his place in the England side ahead of Euro 2024 next summer and doesn't want to be 'playing once a month'. He said, ‘I am not going to sit here all my life and play once a month. If it carries on I am sure myself and the club will sit down and have a chat about things.’
Maguire believes his 'ridiculously high' winning percentage when he has been on the pitch should ensure he is given opportunities. He said, ‘My record under this manager speaks for itself. My win percentage when I’ve played is ridiculously high. If you look back on my last 15 to 20 starts for club and country, I’m really happy with my performances.’
Maguire is now focusing on England's double-header against Australia and Italy and is determined to fight for his place back at Manchester United. He said, ‘At the moment I am focused on two big games for England and then on fighting to try and win my place back at Manchester United and help the team climb the league.’
