HARRY Maguire has extended his stay at Manchester United by one more year, the club confirmed today.
The England centre-back has made a remarkable comeback after becoming an object of derision for his dodgy form.
“Harry Maguire has signed a new contract that will extend his stay with Manchester United until June 2027, with the option for a further year,” the club stated.
“The centre-back has made 266 appearances and won the Carabao Cup and Emirates FA Cup since joining the club in 2019.”
Maguire, who cost United around £80m to join from Leicester, said he was happy to stay at Old Trafford.
“Representing Manchester United is the ultimate honour. It is a responsibility that makes myself and my family proud every single day,” he said.
“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.”
Jason Wilcox, Manchester United director of football, said: “Harry represents the mentality and resilience required to perform for Manchester United. He is the ultimate professional who brings invaluable experience and leadership to our young, ambitious squad.
“Harry, like everyone at the club, is completely determined to help Manchester United to achieve regular and sustained success.”
Maguire, 33, had a torrid two seasons at United after his record move, but fought back to regain his spot in the club and the England squad.
