From the source

Harry Maguire may have arrived at Manchester United six years after Sir Alex Ferguson retired, but the centre-back has maintained a strong relationship with the legendary manager.

It’s been seven years since Harry Maguire joined Manchester United in an £80m deal from Leicester City. The best way to describe his time at Old Trafford is a rollercoaster ride.

The 33-year-old has made 283 appearances for United, winning the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, but has had many ups and downs. After being handed the captain’s armband by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Maguire’s form dipped, and the Norwegian’s sacking coincided with the appointment of Erik ten Hag, who stripped him of the captaincy in favour of Bruno Fernandes.
