Harry Maguire is confident of reaching an agreement on a new contract with Manchester United. The defender stated that he wishes to remain with the club based on his contributions and the club's desire for him to drive forward, not for sentimental reasons.
Talks regarding a new deal are understood to be advancing. Maguire joined Manchester United from Leicester in 2019 for £80 million and has been a consistent presence since Michael Carrick assumed managerial duties in January.
Under Carrick's guidance, the team has improved its league standing and Maguire has earned an international recall. The defender lauded Carrick's tactical acumen, particularly the successful transition to a back four formation.
Maguire also spoke highly of young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, who is also in contract discussions. He noted Mainoo's impressive turnaround and potential for further development.
