MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim says the club will trigger a one-year extension to Harry Maguire's contract to keep the defender at Old Trafford until the end of the 2025-26 season. Maguire's deal had been due to expire at the end of this season. Amorim confirmed the club's decision at a news conference and said "we need him a lot in this moment so we are going to trigger, happily, the option for him." The 31-year-old Maguire joined United from Leicester in 2019 and was captain for a time before losing it to Bruno Fernandes.
