Maguire was assisted off the field by members of the United staff after sustaining an injury during their match against Aston Villa. The severity of the injury is still uncertain, according to manager Erik ten Hag. Maguire had returned to the starting lineup alongside Jonny Evans, with Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez being benched.
Despite putting in a strong performance at the back, Maguire was forced to leave the pitch at half-time due to what appeared to be a muscle injury while defending a corner kick. He was visibly in pain as he was helped off the pitch by two members of United's backroom staff. De Ligt came on in his place for the second half.
Mazraoui, who has been a regular at right-back since his summer transfer from Bayern Munich, also did not return for the second half. Victor Lindelof made his first appearance of the season as his replacement. When asked about the injuries, ten Hag stated that they would have to wait until Monday to assess the situation and provide an update.
With the international break underway, United will have some time for their players to recover before their next match against Brentford on October 19th. Ten Hag will be hoping for a positive result after a disappointing week that saw the team struggle against Tottenham and Porto.
In terms of the team's overall progress, ten Hag emphasized the importance of staying united and working towards their long-term goals. He also acknowledged the recent tough away games but praised the team's togetherness and spirit.
As for the future of his job, ten Hag assured that he has regular communication with the team and they are all on the same page. He believes in the players and their determination to improve and succeed. As the team continues to work towards their goals, ten Hag remains hopeful and confident in their progress.
