Erik ten Hag praises Manchester United Captain, Harry Maguire and talks about his role.
Erik ten Hag has complimented Manchester United Captain, Harry Maguire and maintained that he can be an ”important” player for the club.
Maguire returned to training following an injury layoff sustained while on international duty in September and has come back into the fold at an opportune time, with Raphael Varane ruled out until the World Cup next month due to an injury of his own.
Ten Hag has spoken on his return and the role he could play.

The Dutch coach said in his latest press conference: “He (Maguire) always has an important role. He was injured and is happy he is back and now he has to get back into games. It’s always about performance. Regarding his qualities – no problem. He is great player and has great capabilities to do a job for us.”
The England international will be aiming to make Gareth Southgate’s World Cup team, but Ten Hag has issued a warning that his selection will only be made with United’s best interests in mind.
”I understand the interest but we especially look at Manchester United. We have to get the right results and performances,” he added.
On Thursday night against Sheriff in the Europa League group stage, the 29-year-old is expected to make his comeback for United.
