Harry Maguire injury: Manchester United defender suffers ligament damage


What did Solskjaer say?

He told BT Sport: “The good news is that he (Maguire) has not broken anything, it is just ligament damage and we hope to see him again before the Europa League final.”

How much of a boost is this to United?

Maguire’s return would be very welcome for United, as he had started the previous 72 league matches.

He has been a key figure at Old Trafford since his arrival from Leicester City in 2019 and was made captain shortly after signing.

United are almost guaranteed to finish in the Premier League’s top four this season, but Maguire’s return could be crucial if they are to triumph in the Europa League final against Villarreal on May 26.

Is this a positive for England’s Euro 2020 campaign?

Maguire’s fitness is arguably more significant for England than United, given his importance to Gareth Southgate.

Southgate has relied on Maguire’s consistency and ability to operate as a left-sided centre-back, despite his right-footedness, since taking charge of England.

Maguire is a key figure and leader in the England side. In recent squad selections, he has been the most nailed on starter in Southgate’s defence.
