Man United Finalizes Harry Maguire Contract Decision After Carrick’s Input
Harry Maguire is set to secure a new contract with Manchester United, bolstered by the support of interim head coach Michael Carrick. The defender’s current deal expires this summer, just as he turns 33 years old.
Contract Negotiations Underway
Maguire, earning approximately £180,000 per week, may face a salary reduction as the club seeks a new agreement. The discussions will also focus on the length of the contract. His recent performances have been vital for Carrick, indicating a promising future at Old Trafford.
- Key player in recent matches against Manchester City, Arsenal, Fulham, and Tottenham.
- Engaged in contract discussions in January with AC Milan.
- Desires to remain with Manchester United.
Career Resurgence
This potential contract extension marks a significant turnaround for Maguire. In the past, he lost his captaincy under Erik ten Hag and had sporadic appearances in the starting lineup. Now, his role has stabilized, and he is viewed as an essential part of Carrick’s strategy.
Contrasting Fate of Teammate Casemiro
In contrast to Maguire, Casemiro has announced he will part ways with Manchester United when his contract ends this summer. The mid-fielder, who joined the club from Real Madrid in 2022, has enjoyed considerable success, making 149 appearances.
- Casemiro shared his decision on Instagram, citing the importance of closure.
- Despite having a contract extension clause, he has chosen to leave.
Upcoming Matches
As Manchester United prepares for their next match against West Ham United, both Maguire and Casemiro aim for a fifth consecutive win under Carrick. Currently, the team is fourth in the Premier League, with a record of 12 wins, eight draws, and five losses.
A victory could elevate them to third place, but they must first overcome a determined West Ham side.
