Overview
- Manchester United confirmed Tuesday that Harry Maguire signed a one-year extension to June 2027 with a club option that could keep him through 2028.
- His new deal follows a mid-season turnaround in which he started every match under interim manager Michael Carrick and helped lift United into the Premier League’s top three.
- Maguire earned an England recall in March after 18 months out of the squad, strengthening his case for World Cup selection later this year.
- The defender will miss Monday’s home game against Leeds because of a suspension from a red card at Bournemouth, and reports note a separate FA charge over his conduct toward the fourth official.
- Director of football Jason Wilcox praised Maguire’s leadership as reports point to advanced talks to extend Kobbie Mainoo’s contract, capping a resurgence for a player who joined for £80m in 2019 and has made 266 appearances with FA Cup and League Cup wins.
