Pundit believes Harry Maguire should return to Leicester City | OneFootball

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has been linked with a move back to his former club, Leicester City.

The centre-back has fallen out of favour since Erik ten Hag took over the Red Devils last summer and consequently has been rumoured to exit the club at the end of the season.

The arrival of Lisandro Martinez and his partnership with four-time Champions League winner Raphael Varane has kept Maguire out of the fold, with Ten Hag granting him just 12 starts all season – only five of which came in the Premier League.

He has come under fire throughout his entire career as a Red and it’s largely due to his price tag –  United paid the Foxes £80 million in August 2019 to make Maguire the most expensive defender of all time.

Former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also made the England international club captain in his first season, which came as a shock to United fans.

Maguire to Leicester?

Speaking to Football Insider, former West Ham player Franck McAvennie has weighed in on Maguire’s situation at Old Trafford.

“He might go back to Leicester. They could do with him and they will get him at half price as well. He was a star there, he really shone. He has got to play. Sometimes at big clubs like Man United, the jersey is too big for players. That is no disrespect to Harry but if he goes back to Leicester he can see his career out.

“You see him for England and he is decent, so it is a weird one. He will need to leave because he is not getting a game. It is alright being the captain but not if you do not get any game time. I think going back to Leicester would be a good fit.”
