Harry admits it would be 'silly' to seek United exit during club rebuild

HARRY MAGUIRE says it would be "silly" to leave rebuilding Manchester United right now after revealing Ruben Amorim’s side shut down summer interest in him.

The 32-year-old centre-back arrived from Leicester in an £80million deal in 2019, signing a six-year contract with an option for a further season.

United triggered that clause at the turn of the year and have rebuffed summer interest in the England international, who has yet to speak to the club about his future beyond this campaign.

"Last year was the clause in their hands so there was no option for me there," Maguire said.

"There was no talking. It was just they activated it and it got extended.

"This year, obviously I’m up at the end of the year. I’m pretty sure the club have made it aware this summer that I can’t leave the club on any terms with other clubs enquiring about my things and my position with my contract.
