Harry Maguire, against the ropes: "If he can't fight for his position, he has to leave."

The strained relationship between Erik ten Hag and Harry Maguire

Erik ten Hag and Harry Maguire have not been getting along: after stripping him of the captain's armband, the coach has decided to bench him at the start of the Premier League - he didn't play a single minute in Manchester United's victory over Wolves (1-0). Ahead of the match, the Dutch coach was firm about the situation of the English defender and stated that if he doesn't make an effort to regain his position, he will have to leave in the transfer market (which ends on August 31).

Despite costing 87 million euros for the 'Red Devils' - making him one of the most expensive signings in Premier League history - the former Ajax coach hasn't hesitated to substitute the center-back. He has preferred other players such as Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martínez, and Victor Lindelöf.
