Rooney recommends Maguire leave Man Utd

DC United boss Wayne Rooney has told Harry Maguire to leave Manchester United.

Rooney, a Red Devils legend, does not believe Maguire has a future at the Old Trafford club.

The 30-year-old was relieved of his captaincy duties by coach Erik ten Hag this summer.

Speaking to The Athletic, Rooney stated: “To have the armband taken off you, how does he move forward with the club?'

“That shows the manager really doesn't believe in him. It leaves Harry in a position where he has to think on what he does moving forward.

“The manager has shown he is not part of the plans.

“I'm sure Harry will want to go and play — for himself, for his England career — to put himself in the best position to be as successful as he can.

“The best thing now is probably for him to move."
