Harry Maguire has been named in the starting XI by Erik ten Hag after being sidelined since September 2022 due to an injury that he picked up while playing for England in the UEFA Nations League.

Maguire has been under scrutiny at Manchester United after failing to perform as expected after his acquisition from Leicester City.

Today's inclusion of Maguire into the XI for United has come as a surprise as everyone knew that Victor Lindelof was going to start ahead of him.

Ten Hag has taken a risk by starting Maguire over Lindelof as he is still healing from an injury that he picked up less than a month ago.
