The 30-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford with Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, and even Luke Shaw all preferred at centre-back to him by Ten Hag.

Maguire is reportedly one of the players transfer-listed to leave the Red Devils this summer and taking the armband from him will see Ten Hag continue his clean-up of that club that has seen goalkeeper David De Gea end his 12-year romance with the club.
The former Hull City star joined United for a world-record fee of £80 million from Leicester City in the summer of 2019.
