Harry Maguire Set for Manchester United Comeback

This season, Manchester United‘s defense has faced scrutiny due to several losses and draws that revealed inconsistency.

Ruben Amorim has had to adjust frequently because of injuries and lineup changes, including altering formations recently.

However, in yesterday’s 1-0 victory against Newcastle United, the defense performed strongly, achieving a clean sheet.

Lisandro Martinez and Ayden Heaven showcased excellent defensive skills, setting a solid foundation for future matches.

Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire have been out injured for several weeks.

Maguire sustained a muscle injury following the match against Tottenham Hotspur back in November and has not played since.

While there have been few updates on his return, there is now encouraging news.

Sources indicate that Harry Maguire is getting closer to returning to Manchester United from injury.

The 32-year-old has increased his rehabilitation efforts, engaging in individual on-field training over the past week.

If his recovery continues on track, he is expected to rejoin team training soon.

His anticipated return will be a significant advantage for Ruben Amorim, especially with the current number of injuries in the squad.

Bryan Mbeumo, Amad, and Noussair Mazraoui are competing in the Africa Cup of Nations for their nations.

Kobbie Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes, and Matthijs de Ligt are also sidelined due to injuries.

Maguire was performing well before his injury and will look to maintain that form upon his return.

Discussions regarding his contract renewal have not yet begun, but they are expected to take place soon regarding a potential extension for the England international.
