England defender Harry Maguire has said he’s ‘not playing anywhere near enough’ under Erik ten Hag at Manchester United having made just one Premier League start thus far this term.
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has said that he’s ‘not playing anywhere near enough’ for his club as he prepares to take on Australia with England.
Maguire has made just one Premier League start for the Red Devils this term after falling out of favour under Erik ten Hag, however Gareth Southgate has remained loyal to the defender and has continued to select him for his England squad.
The Three Lions take on Australia in an international friendly on Friday evening, before hosting Italy in a European Championship qualifier at Wembley next week, and Maguire could be in line to make his first appearance under Southgate since scoring an own goal against Scotland last month.
Speaking ahead of the match, Maguire revealed that he isn’t playing enough for Manchester United, and that conversations will have to be had with the club if his lack of game time continues with Euro 2024 on the horizon.

“I’m not going to sit here all my life and play once every month and if it carries on then I’m sure myself and the club will sit down and have a chat about things.” Maguire said in a press conference.
“But, honestly, at the moment I’m fully focused on two games for England, two big games.
“Then I’m fully focused on fighting and trying to get back my place at Manchester United and helping the team climb up the league to where we should be.
“I want to play games. I want to feel important to the club and I want to feel important to the rest of the team.” he continued.
“At the moment I haven’t been playing anywhere near as much as I’d like. It’s the bottom line of it.
“I’ve just got to make sure I am ready to take the opportunities when they come along.”
