English defender Harry Maguire will play no role for the Red Devils in the derby against neighbors Manchester City after suffering an injury while on duty in England.
What did Ten Hag say about Harry Maguire?
English striker Harry Kane revealed at the end of a thrilling 3-3 Nations League draw with Germany – a game in which Harry made another costly mistake – that the Manchester United club captain was left playing on one foot after picking up a knock. This will keep the player from going to the Etihad Stadium, but Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is backing the most expensive defender in world football to force his critics to return to full fitness one day.
The Dutch coach said about the undershot half of the center that he should coach him and bring him back. Erik brings him back because he believes in him. According to Erik ten Hag, he sees his qualities. There is quality. With almost 50 caps for England, Harry Maguire has a lot of potential. Then it’s up to him. Ten Hag says they all believe in him.
While Harry will be out when Man Utd makes a short tour of Manchester on Sunday, Erik was lifted by the news that the two proven forwards are back in contention. Erik ten Hag added in the delivery of the fitness update that Anthony Martial has been training with the group all week, really happy with that situation. Marcus Rashford also joined the training.
What’s next for the Red Devils?
The Red Devils have won their last four Premier League matches after losing four in a row. Manchester United last won five consecutive league matches in April 2021 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Taking the maximum points from their last four Premier Leagues, Man Utd will move within two of Man City if they can take the Sky Blues’ unbeaten start to the 2022-23 campaign to an abrupt halt.
