Harry Maguire (33), who was once reduced to a bargain sale and was on the verge of leaving the team, dramatically extended his companion to Manchester United. It is a reversal drama that overcame many criticisms and rumors of release.

Manchester United said on its official website on the 7th (Korea Standard Time), "We have signed a new contract with Maguire," adding, "With this contract, Maguire will remain with the team until June 2027. An option for a one-year extension was included," he announced.

After signing the contract, Maguire said through the club, "It is the greatest honor to represent Manchester United. "It's a responsibility that gives pride to me and my family every day," he said. "I'm happy to continue my journey for at least eight seasons at this incredible club and continue to play in front of special fans."

Maguire then said, "I felt the ambition and potential of Manchester United. I'll fight for a major championship. "I am confident that the best moment to be with Manchester United is yet to come," he added.

Jason Wilcox, Manchester United football director, praised Maguire as "a player with the best professional spirit who shows off his valuable experience and leadership to young and ambitious United's squad."

Maguire entered Manchester United splendidly in 2019 with 80 million pounds (about 1591 billion won), the world's highest transfer fee for defenders.

But life at Manchester United has not been smooth. Maguire also suffered the humiliation of being classified as a surplus resource and being listed on the release list, especially under the leadership of Hoobeng Amorim and his predecessor Erik ten Hach. At the time, local media such as the British media "Mirror" poured out reports that Manchester United would sell Maguire at a bargain price of 10 million pounds (about 20 billion won) even at the risk of huge losses in the transfer market.

In fact, Maguire was completely pushed out of the main competition after handing over the captain's armband to Bruno Fernandes last year. With young center backs such as Matthias de Ligt and Lenny Yoro joining one after another, Maguire's position seemed to become narrower.

Under interim coach Michael Carrick, it was revived. Maguire played 14 starts in 18 of Manchester United's 31 English Premier League (EPL) games this season, taking charge of a total of 1,205 minutes. In particular, he steadily made the starting lineup in February and March, proving his stability. Thanks to these performances, Maguire, who recently re-elected to the English national team, showed off his robustness by playing 90 minutes against Uruguay and 7 minutes against Japan.
