Manchester United’s defender, Harry Maguire, has issued a January departure ultimatum if he remains a peripheral figure under manager Erik ten Hag. Ten Hag assumed the captaincy role ahead of the new season.
Maguire, the English international, earned his first league start against Brentford due to injuries affecting six other defenders. He marked this occasion by contributing to Scott McTominay’s match-winning goal in a 2-1 victory last Saturday.
Nonetheless, the 30-year-old anticipates returning to the substitute bench as soon as players like Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez regain fitness.

“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.
“It’s not my decision whether I start the next game for United or not. In a couple of weeks, I’ll go back and find out,” Maguire said, ahead of England’s double-header against Australia on Friday and Italy on Tuesday.
