Gary Neville believes that Manchester United supervisor Erik ten Hag made it clear that Harry Maguire is on the backside of the pecking order in opposition to Wolves on Monday night time. Victor Lindelof was chosen over the England worldwide to return off of the bench at half-time to exchange Lisandro Martinez.

Maguire was stripped of membership captaincy previous to the 2023/24 Premier League marketing campaign getting underway, with the armband being given to Bruno Fernandes. The choice was seen as a key indicator that the ex-Leicester City star now not had a future on the membership, regardless of his want to remain.

The Red Devils have just lately accepted a £30million bid from West Ham for Maguire, although a deal is but to be finalised because the defender is but to agree on private phrases. Fears are subsequently rising that the switch could not happen, with the Hammers already beginning to sound out options.

However, Neville feels that Ten Hag tried to reinstate his earlier level in opposition to Wolves throughout United’s opening sport of the season. Martinez was withdrawn at half-time, having been booked for a rash deal with on Pedro Neto, and changed by Lindelof – regardless of Maguire being the extra pure substitute provided that he performs as a left-sided centre again.

Speaking in regards to the substitution to Sky Sports, Neville mentioned: “Manchester United are attempting to handle Harry Maguire out of the membership and get the cash for him, 100 per cent, there is no doubt."

United are already eyeing up replacements for Maguire and want to push him out of the exit, with Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo and versatile Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard each linked with a transfer to the membership.
