Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has committed his future to the club, signing a new contract that extends his stay at Old Trafford.
The England international, who was set to become a free agent at the end of the season, has agreed to an initial one-year deal running until June 2027, with an option for an additional 12 months.
Maguire expressed his pride in continuing with the club, saying: “Representing Manchester United is the ultimate honour. It is a responsibility that makes myself and my family proud every single day. I am delighted to extend my journey at this incredible club to at least eight seasons and continue to play in front of our special supporters to create more amazing moments together.
“You can feel the ambition and potential of this exciting squad. The determination throughout the whole club to fight for major trophies is clear, and I am confident that our best moments together remain ahead of us.”
Jason Wilcox, Manchester United’s Director of Football, praised the 33-year-old defender for his leadership and professionalism.
“Harry represents the mentality and resilience required to perform for Manchester United. He is the ultimate professional who brings invaluable experience and leadership to our young, ambitious squad. Like everyone at the club, he is completely determined to help Manchester United achieve regular and sustained success,” Wilcox said.
Maguire joined United from Leicester City in a record £80 million ($106 million) transfer in 2019. Since then, he has made 266 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 17 goals.
The defender has been instrumental in Manchester United’s recent resurgence under caretaker manager Michael Carrick. His strong performances since January earned him a recall to the England squad for the March internationals against Uruguay and Japan.
