Harry Maguire is fighting for his future at Old Trafford. The England international is among the players Erik ten Hag is willing to eliminate.

Harry Maguire is reporting to win back his place Manchester United by tackling an intensive training camp in the searing heat of Portugal.

The England center-back is working with legendary defender Ricardo Carvalho as part of a training program consisting of three sessions per day. It has been going on for three weeks so far.

After a season in which he was restricted to just eight Premier League starts, the out-of-sorts 30-year-old is waiting to discuss his future with Erik ten Hag.

Fabrizio Romano reports that although the Red Devils have already resumed preseason practices at their Carrington, Maguire is still working out with Carvalho.

It appears as though Bruno Fernandes is going to replace Maguire as captain, which would be disappointing even if the former Leicester player stays at Old Trafford.

When Ten Hag was in charge, Maguire mostly served as a backup for central defenders Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez. When Varane and Martinez are not present, the Man United captain even behind Victor Lindelof and a left-back like Luke Shaw.
