Man Utd captain Maguire: I'm ready when Ten Hag calls

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire says he's fully fit and ready to be called on by manager Erik ten Hag.

His place in the starting line-up has come under scrutiny after not playing for United in six week, falling behind Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez in the pecking order.

Maguire told talkSPORT: "I am all good, ready to play, I feel fit and fresh. On my form, I don't know what has been said, I don't really read about it.

"I came off the back of three positive games with England in the summer, and a good pre-season, I felt really good.

"Obviously, the manager [Erik ten Hag] decided to leave me out for a game, and the team have been winning since.

"I am working hard on the training pitch to make sure I am ready for when my opportunity comes. That is all what I can do to try and help the team."
