Manchester United defender Harry Maguire is set to remain at Old Trafford for another season after signing a new one-year contract.
United announced this via a statement on Tuesday.
Harry Maguire was in the final months of his current deal but the 33-year-old England centre-back, who joined United from Leicester City in an £80 million ($106 million) move in 2019, has agreed new terms that include an option for a further year.
He said: “Representing Manchester United is the ultimate honour. It is a responsibility that makes myself and my family proud every single day.
“I am delighted to extend my journey at this incredible club to at least eight seasons and continue to play in front of our special supporters to create more amazing moments together.
“You can feel the ambition and potential of this exciting squad. The determination throughout the whole club to fight for major trophies is clear for everyone to see and I am confident that our best moments together remain ahead of us.”

Maguire has been ever-present for United since former Old Trafford favourite Michael Carrick took caretaker charge after Darren Fletcher was briefly at the helm following the end of Ruben Amorim’s turbulent 14 months’ reign in January, with the Red Devils rising to third in the Premier League and a return to the Champions League now in sight.
His form earned Maguire an England recall last month as he made his first international appearances in 18 months, when he played both friendlies at Wembley, to put himself in contention for a place at this year’s World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The centre-back has made 266 appearances and won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup since joining United in 2019.
Maguire is with United in Dublin this week as the senior squad take part in a training camp during a three-and-a-half week gap between league fixtures, created both by the recent international window and the club’s early exit from cup competitions.
