Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is reportedly set to stay at the club this summer.
After a disappointing 2021-22 campaign with the Red Devils, the 29-year-old's future at Old Trafford has come into question, with new head coach Erik ten Hag understood to have held crunch talks with the defender over his position at the club.
However, the Daily Mail claims that Ten Hag has no plans to let Maguire leave the club this summer and regards him as one of his main central defenders along with Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof.
The report adds, however, that Maguire could lose the captaincy even though he is keen to retain the armband for a third successive season.
Maguire, who has three years left on his contract, has played 144 times for United since joining the club for £85m in 2019, including 37 appearances across all competitions last season.
The former Leicester City man, however, lost his regular place in the starting lineup towards the backend of last season under interim boss Ralf Rangnick, and he may face more competition in 2022-23 if United recruit a new centre-back this summer.
Ajax duo Jurrien Timber and Lisandro Martinez have both been linked with a move to Old Trafford in order to reunite with former boss Ten Hag, with the Red Devils set to battle with Arsenal for the latter's signature.
