That’s the view of Sir Alex Ferguson’s former No.2, Rene Meulensteen, who admits his surprise the centre-back even wants to stay despite clearly not being in Erik ten Hag’s plans.
“Is it time for Harry Maguire to move on? Yeah,” he told talkSPORT.
“And I don’t know why [he’s staying put] because at the end of the day I think it’s very clear. The writing has been on the wall for a bit.
“Every player, every professional wants to play. He needs to play. He’s still in Gareth Southgate’s ideas about playing for England. He has been.
“So I find it really strange what has happened there, because if I would be Harry, I would be definitely knocking on Eric’s door.
“I would be saying, ‘Listen, I’m not really in your plans, please let me go’.”
