While starting in Manchester United’s first two matches of the Premier League season—losses to Brighton and Brentford—Maguire has been benched in the Red Devils’ last four games. Manchester United won all four of the games when Maguire has been absent from the starting lineup.

Although Southgate expressed concern about Maguire’s lack of minutes, he retains his faith in the player’s abilities. “Another seven to eight weeks, that does start to become more complicated,” Southgate admitted. “But he is an important player for us and it’s important to back our best players. Whatever reputation I have, I’m putting it on there.”

Maguire has proven himself as a crucial member of the England squad in the past, playing as the Three Lions’ first-choice center back during their run to the final of Euro 2020. England has struggled in recent times, however, sitting at the foot of their Nations League group table with just two points. The team has just two games to turn their fortunes around and avoid relegation to League B of the competition.

The Premier League giants will reportedly spend $100 million to sign the England international in order to shore up their defense, which struggled with depth and poor play during last year’s disappointing campaign.

Maguire came up through the Sheffield United youth system before joining Hull City in the EPL in 2014. After the Tigers’ 2017 relegation, he joined reigning Premier League champions Leicester City for a $20 million fee.

The national team regular has been considered one of the league’s best defenders over the past few seasons, and was strongly linked to a move to Old Trafford last summer before deciding to stick with Leicester during the 2018-19 campaign.

Maguire tallied 5 goals in 69 EPL games with Leicester over the course of two seasons.

Now, it appears that the 26-year-old is finally headed off to join Man U in a move that the club’s board and coach Ole Gunnar Solksjaer hopes will boost a team that finished in a disappointing 6th place at the end of last season.
