Manchester United icon Dwight Yorke has advised Harry Maguire to contemplate leaving Old Trafford, News About Nigeria reports.
Yorke in his statement, describes Magurie’s ordeal at Manchester United as a ‘humiliating’ experience under manager Erik ten Hag.
Maguire’s proposed transfer to West Ham has encountered a setback due to negotiations with Manchester United regarding a severance fee. The Hammers, having pursued Maguire, have now shifted their focus to alternative targets after his hesitance.
Reports suggest that Ten Hag’s encouragement for Maguire to fight for his place in the team prompted a change of heart from the English defender, leading him to reconsider his departure and stay with the club this summer.
However, Yorke believes that it might be in Maguire’s best interest to seek opportunities elsewhere.
He stated, “I don’t think Harry Maguire will be an option for squad depth now, not when he’s been humiliated by the manager who spoke publicly about fighting for his place.”
Yorke further emphasized the importance of excelling in one’s position at the club and rebuilding confidence.
He continued, “Maguire might see it differently and he’s entitled to, but I think him leaving Man United is a no-brainer. His respect in the changing room would have diminished, he would have been embarrassed by what’s happened in recent weeks.”
The former Manchester United star also alluded to the situation involving Jonny Evans, who signed a one-year contract with Leicester City, suggesting that it reflects Ten Hag’s intentions regarding Maguire.
As Maguire faces a complex decision about his future, the opinions of former player Yorke, add to the discussions surrounding his career path.
Whether he remains at Manchester United to prove his worth or seeks new opportunities elsewhere, the coming weeks are likely to be crucial for the English defender.
