Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has signed a new one-year contract to remain at Old Trafford beyond this summer.

Maguire was in the final few months of his existing deal but the 33-year-old, who joined from Leicester in an £80million deal back in 2019, has agreed new terms that include an option for a further year.

“Representing Manchester United is the ultimate honour,” Maguire said. “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 for everyone to see and I am confident that our best moments together remain ahead of us.”

Maguire has been ever-present for United since Michael Carrick took charge, helping the club rise up to third in the Premier League with a return to the Champions League now the clear objective.

His form earned Maguire an England recall last month – making his first appearances for the Three Lions in 18 months when he played both friendlies at Wembley – and put him in contention for a place at this summer’s World Cup.

In all Maguire has made 266 appearances for United, lifting the FA Cup and Carabao Cup with the club.

United director of football Jason Wilcox said: “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.

“Harry, like everyone at the club, is completely determined to help Manchester United to achieve regular and sustained success.”

Maguire is with United in Dublin this week as Carrick’s first-team squad take part in a training camp amid a three-and-a-half week gap between league fixtures, created both by the recent international window and the club’s early exit from the cup competitions.
