Ten Haag: “If he can’t fight for the 11th, let Maguire go”

Clear message to Harry Maguire sent her coach Manchester UnitedErik Ten Haag, emphasizing that if he is not confident enough to fight for his position, it would be better for everyone if he leaves.

He has to fight for his place and has the skills to be a top centre-backTen Haag told reporters. “He is the best for England and I suppose he will be the best for us, but he has to prove it. When he doesn’t have enough confidence to come in and compete, then he has to leave. He has to make a decision. But I’m happy with him… You need high-level players who maybe don’t start, but that can change“, he added.

The Dutch coach removed the captain’s armband from Maguire last month after the 30-year-old made just eight Premier League starts last season, with Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof preferred in central defence. British media reported that West Ham had reached an agreement to buy him for around 40 million euros, but the player still seems hesitant.

Manchester United kick off their Premier League campaign tonight by hosting Wolves at 10pm.
