Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has firmly stated that leaving the club at this juncture would be a misguided decision. Despite interest from other clubs during the summer transfer window, United's management made it clear that Maguire was not for sale. This decision underscores the club's confidence in the experienced defender as they navigate a period of transformation.

Maguire, whose contract was extended earlier this year, is set to remain at Old Trafford until at least the summer of 2025. The 32-year-old, who joined United from Leicester City in 2019 for a record £80 million, has been a pivotal figure in the team's defense. His leadership qualities have been particularly valuable, especially during times when the squad was perceived to lack strong leaders.

The defender revealed that there were inquiries from other clubs, but United swiftly dismissed any possibility of a transfer. 'I'm pretty sure the club made it clear this summer that I can't leave on any terms,' Maguire said. 'A couple of clubs enquired, and I think they got a quick response.'

Maguire's commitment to United is unwavering, and he believes the club is moving in the right direction under the new leadership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and technical director Jason Wilcox. 'Since I started six years ago to now, it's in a completely different place in terms of the structure behind the management staff,' he noted. 'We're in a good place. A lot better place.'

Looking ahead, Maguire is optimistic about the future and is open to discussions about extending his stay at United. 'I'm sure over the next few months we'll have to have a conversation about where we want to go and if they want to extend,' he said. 'Obviously, I have something in my mind about what I want to do and where I want to be.'

Maguire's dedication to Manchester United is evident, and his belief in the club's potential for success remains strong. As United continues to rebuild and strengthen their squad, Maguire's presence will be crucial in their quest for glory in the Premier League and beyond.
