Harry Maguire makes January transfer decision at Man United after Ruben Amorim appointment
- EXCLUSIVE from Graeme Bailey
With the greatest respect to Ruud van Nistelrooy, Manchester United fans will already be counting down the days until Ruben Amorim is appointed as their new boss.
Amorim will take charge at Man United on November 11, meaning Van Nistelrooy will oversee two more games in charge before he either steps back at Old Trafford or eventually seeks a new challenge.

United’s new manager will need to make a ton of changes when he arrives, and one of those is expected to be a formation switch on the pitch.
At Sporting CP, Amorim has favoured a 3-4-3, which could be excellent news for Harry Maguire’s hopes of reviving his United career.
To that end, TBR Football understands that Maguire will refuse to consider leaving the club in January or signing a pre-contract elsewhere in the near future.

Maguire is hoping to prove himself to Amorim once he arrives, and will be buoyed by the prospect of the Portuguese manager introducing a three centre-back system.
Maguire’s best performances in recent years have arguably come for England whilst playing in a three, a formation that lends to his ball-carrying ability.
As of now, United have shown no desire to keep Maguire beyond the expiry of his contract next summer.
The England defender’s deal does include a one-year option which United could activate, and the 31-year-old believes that is a possibility.
Maguire, who lost the captaincy under Erik ten Hag, has refused to leave Old Trafford in the last two transfer windows as he still believes he has something to offer at United.
Harry Maguire said United players still believed in Erik ten Hag
Although it’s his new boss he’s hoping to impress right now, Maguire spoke in support of Ten Hag back at the start of October, a message that might serve as advice for Amorim moving forward.
Maguire suggested that increased scrutiny was part of the job playing for United, something the new manager will soon experience.
Asked if the players still believed in Ten Hag at the time, Maguire said: “Yeah, definitely. To be honest, I’ve played for this club for six years so I know how it works.
“When you go through a bad spell, players come under pressure but also the manager does.
“He’s experienced enough, he’s been in the game long enough, he’s been at this club long enough that I’m sure he’s learned how to deal with it.
“It’s part and parcel of playing for this club or managing this club. It’s part of the privilege that you have.”
