Maguire is causing division within MU.

Manchester United is facing a very difficult dilemma regarding the future of center-back Harry Maguire.

Maguire's future is still undecided.

According to Goal , there are conflicting opinions within the Manchester United leadership, which is why a decision on extending Maguire's contract has yet to be made.

Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is said to be the most hardline figure on this issue. He is not keen on signing a new contract with the English center-back, even if Maguire is willing to accept a significant pay cut to continue his association with Old Trafford.

Ratcliffe's view is to prioritize rejuvenating the defense, giving opportunities to young talents like Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven, while believing that the presence of Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt provides the necessary experience for the back line.

However, not all leaders at MU agree with this approach. Some high-ranking figures in the club believe that Maguire still has value, especially in terms of experience, composure, and the consistency he has shown recently.

They appreciate the professionalism and ability to overcome pressure of the former Manchester United captain, especially after a long period of criticism since his record-breaking £80 million transfer from Leicester City in 2019.

According to the Daily Mail , Maguire's top priority remains staying at Manchester United after his contract expires next June. The English defender does not want to disrupt his family life and believes that playing in the Premier League will help him maintain his chances of being called up to the England national team.

To realize that desire, Maguire is willing to accept a salary reduction of £200,000 per week, in line with MU's current wage-cutting policy.
