Harry Maguire admits Man Utd playing frustrations

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire wants more starts if he is to remain at the club.

The centre back is not first choice in the eyes of manager Erik Ten Hag when every player is fit.

Maguire started the 2-1 win over Fulham on the final day of the season, but only because Raphael Varane was rested with the FA Cup final in mind.

Maguire told MUTV on wanting to play more: "Yeah, of course,"

"Listen, we have a lot of competition for places and that's what a big club needs. Lots of strength in depth. I think you've seen today, after 20 minutes, it was a really positive performance.

"[We had] lads who stepped in, lads who haven't played as much and I think the manager and his staff can rely upon us and know that, if he makes changes, we can do the job, so it's good to be part of this squad. I think if we're going to be successful this season and next season and the season after, we're going to need a big squad."
