Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has urged Harry Maguire to leave Old Trafford after being ‘humiliated’ by Erik ten Hag.

The centre-back’s transfer to West Ham has broken down following a delay from the player as he negotiated a severance fee with the Red Devils, with the Hammers opting to end their chase to pursue other targets.

It is understood Ten Hag telling Maguire to fight for his place led to a change of heart from the England international, who is now set to stay put this summer.

But Yorke insists it’s time for him to leave.

“I don’t think Harry Maguire will be an option for squad depth now, not when he’s been humiliated by the manager who spoke publicly about fighting for his place,” Yorke told OLBG.

“It’s about being the best in your position at the club, that’s what he needs to aim for, his confidence will be low after his captaincy was taken away.

“Imagine seeing Luke Shaw playing in your position and you’re still on the bench, imagine what that would do to your confidence.

“Maguire might see it differently and he’s entitled to, but I think him leaving Man United is a no-brainer. His respect in the changing room would have diminished, he would have been embarrassed by what’s happened in recent weeks.

“If Jonny Evans signs a one-year contract says everything that what Erik ten Hag’s intentions are with Maguire.”
