Harry Maguire understands the increased competition for places at Manchester United and knows he must seize his opportunities this season.
United have strengthened their centre-back options with the signings of Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt during the transfer window.
Yoro’s injury has opened the door for Maguire to start alongside Lisandro Martinez in recent matches, where he has received praise for his performances.
Maguire, who missed the end of last season and Euro 2024 due to injury, acknowledges that he will not always be a guaranteed starter.
He expressed his readiness for the upcoming season, emphasizing the need for a strong squad to navigate the packed schedule.
Looking ahead, Maguire aims to help United secure a spot in the Champions League after a disappointing league finish last season.
He stressed the club’s ambition to compete for trophies and make significant improvements in the Premier League under the guidance of manager Erik ten Hag.
Maguire remains optimistic about the team’s prospects and is determined to contribute to their success in the upcoming campaign.
