Maguire's Contract Extended Amid United Struggles

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim confirmed the club will trigger a one-year extension for Harry Maguire's contract until 2026 but emphasized the need for improvement in his leadership and performance. Amorim described the current squad as 'starving for leaders' amid a poor run of form, with United sitting 14th in the Premier League after four consecutive defeats. He stressed that senior players must step up to support younger teammates, especially ahead of a challenging match against league leaders Liverpool. Additionally, Amorim revealed that the club is close to finalizing a new deal for standout winger Amad Diallo.
