Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Harry Maguire will not be available for the upcoming match against bitter rivals Liverpool at Anfield.
Maguire suffered an injury during United’s midweek defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, contributing to the team’s struggles this season. With Maguire unavailable, Ten Hag faces the challenge of trying to secure a positive result against Liverpool without the services of his central defender.
The pressure is increasing on the manager as United continues to face difficulties on the field.
“Harry is not available for the coming games, but we don’t think his injury will be long-term,” Ten Hag told his pre-match press conference, suggesting Maguire may also be missing for the upcoming games with West Ham United and Aston Villa.
Manchester United’s Harry Maguire will miss the upcoming match against Liverpool due to an injury. Despite facing challenges last season, Maguire has played a significant role on the team recently, earning a regular spot in the starting lineup. There were previous reports of interest from West Ham in signing Maguire during the summer transfer window, but no agreement was reached. Meanwhile, manager Erik ten Hag provided a more positive update on the availability of Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford, stating that both players are in contention to start against Liverpool.
