Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that defender Harry Maguire will replace Raphaël Varane in the team’s lineup. Varane, who has been performing well, is not slated to play a third consecutive game due to concerns over his fitness.
Maguire to Prove His Worth
Ten Hag expressed his confidence in Maguire’s abilities, despite the England international having recently sustained an injury. The Dutch manager emphasized the importance of not making excessive changes to the squad and has entrusted Maguire with the responsibility to demonstrate his value to the team.
According to ten Hag, the decision to rest Varane is strategic, aiming to maintain the player’s condition. Maguire, who is also contracted with Manchester United and plays as a defender in the Premier League, now has the opportunity to step up and contribute to the team’s performance.
