Erik ten Hag has said Harry Maguire can still force his way back into the Manchester United team, despite having the captaincy taken off him. “Harry is an important player, he stays an important player,” the United boss told reporters. Maguire was stripped of the club captaincy earlier this month. “Whilst I’m personally extremely disappointed, I will continue to give my all every time I wear the shirt,” he wrote on Twitter, after Ten Hag’s decision. The central defender made just eight Premier League starts last season, leading to ongoing speculation over his future at Old Trafford.
