Man Utd squad get their way after claiming major decision was 'madness'A key Manchester United star saw his future resolved with his team-mates clamouring for him to remain at Old TraffordCommentsSportAbbie Meehan Senior Sports Writer and Fasika Zelealem Senior Sports Reporter15:51, 14 Apr 2026View 2 ImagesHarry Maguire's future was clinched last week(Image: Catherine Ivill - AMA/Getty Images)The Manchester United squad have got their wish after Harry Maguire last week put pen to paper on a one-year extension to his contract. The bulk of the squad believed it would have been "madness" if the experienced defender hadn't been handed a fresh deal.‌The 33-year-old is back in favour having endured a tough spell under both Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim. The centre-back, who arrived at United from Leicester City for £80million, has proved to be an influential leader under Michael Carrick's stewardship.‌Maguire has led by example for his colleagues and they were reportedly pushing hard for a new contract for the England international. A source told The Sun earlier this year: "The players think it would be madness if he was not offered a new deal.‌"Harry has endured plenty of ups and downs at United but has come through all that and is playing really well. He's very well-respected in the dressing room and is passing on a lot of knowledge to some of the younger players like Ayden Heaven and Leny Yoro."Everyone likes him and respects him and the majority of the players want the club to give him a deal." Reports emerged that AC Milan had been keen on Maguire during the January transfer window.READ MORE: Gary Neville identifies Man Utd detail that gives biggest hint yet over manager decisionREAD MORE: Man Utd debate put to bed by PGMOL rule and Howard Webb after red card furyFOLLOW OUR MAN UTD FB PAGE!
