Despite saying he has improved, what Ten Hag did that makes Maguire uncomfortable

Harry Maguire and Erik Ten Hag have had some friction since the Dutch coach joined the team. The English defender is one of the players most criticized by fans, but the reality is that many believe that his stay in the team should have ended a while ago. However, the English defender has shown that he has the conditions to continue. In fact, Ten Hag revealed that he has improved a lot in recent matches. However, he now gives the player unexpected news.

According to MAIL, the Dutch coach has requested a defender from the board for 2024. This means that the club must move pieces for the current season. In that sense, it is expected that the Dutch coach will position himself forcefully and continue demanding reinforcements for 2024.

Manchester United's season has not met expected expectations, and a transition period is looming for next year. According to Mirror, the English club would be considering selling up to 13 players from its current squad as part of a restructuring for the next campaign. Among the first team players who could leave are notable names such as Reguilón, Sancho, Martial, Greenwood, Van de Beek, Johnny Evans, Tom Heaton and Sofia Amrabat. In addition, the departure of players who are currently on loan, such as Brandon Williams, Álvaro Fernández, Shola Shoretire and Joe Hugill, would be evaluated.

The upcoming market for Manchester United

This possible massive sale reflects Manchester United's intention to reconfigure its squad, possibly to inject freshness and adjust to the team's needs for next season. The departures could free up salary space and open the opportunity for new signings to strengthen specific areas of the team in a bid to revitalize its performance.
