Manchester United of the English professional football Premier League (EPL) will continue to accompany central defender Harry Maguire.
Manchester United said on the 3rd (Korea time) that "Coach Hoobeng Amorim has extended his contract with Maguire by one year. He was scheduled to expire this summer, but now he will accompany him until June 2026."
"Maguire has played in 222 games since joining Manchester United, and has won the English Carabao Cup (League Cup) in the 2022-2023 season and the English Football Association (FA) Cup in the 2023-2024 season," he said.
According to the club, Amorim announced the extension of his contract with Maguire at a press conference ahead of the 20th round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season against Liverpool at 1:30 a.m. on the 6th.
"I will invoke the option (to extend my contract) with Maguire," Amorim said. "We have to increase our performance with him this morning. We need Maguire, and he has to develop as a leader."
Asked if Maguire was a key player, he replied, "I think Maguire handled the difficult moments very well. We desperately want a leader, and Maguire needs to improve on that."
In 2019, Manchester United invested 87 million euros (about 131.9 billion won) to recruit Maguire, who was active in Leicester City.
Maguire was trusted enough to lead Manchester United with the captain's armband shortly after joining the club.
However, he was criticized for not showing as strong defense as in Leicester City in the past.
Maguire is expected to leave Manchester United at the end of this season due to continued transfer rumors.
However, he played seven games under coach Amorim and played like an altoran, and continued his companion with an extension option. 먹튀검증
