      The 28-year-old has not played since, and was relying on crutches to get him around.
      But United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has refused to definitely rule out his captain, and Maguire has been named in the 26-man squad flying out to Gdansk.
      Speaking on the club website, Solskjaer said: “Harry is just going to jog up and down the sidelines [in training]
      “I reckon he’ll try to join in a bit.”
      After United won 2-1 at Wolves on Sunday to comfortably finished second – five points above Liverpool in third – Maguire took to Instagram to urge his team-mates to get better next season.
      The 28-year-old uploaded a picture of himself in a United shirt and wrote: “Great way to finish the @premierleague campaign.
      “Well done lads. Another step forward this year but we don’t settle for this, next year we must improve again.
      “Looking forward to Wednesday #MUFC.”

      And before the Wolves game, Solskjaer confirmed his captain will be joining the squad in Poland.
      The Norwegian said he will give Maguire ‘until Wednesday’ to see how he feels.
      But the game will come too soon for Anthony Martial, who has not recovered from his knee problem.

      Maguire recently gave fans hope he could play when he ditched his crutches and attended the premiere of Sir Alex Ferguson’s film ‘Never Give In’ on Thursday evening.
      But if he missed the Villarreal game, there will be doubts whether he will be fit enough for England and their Euro 2020 adventure.

      Bruno Fernandes vs Eric Cantona: How Man Utd stars compare with Portuguese ace ‘honoured’ with link to legend

      by

      BRUNO FERNANDES has spoken of his pride to be compared with Eric Cantona after a monumental 2020-21 season.The attacking midfielder, 26, joined the Red Devils in January 2020 but has already been involved in 65 goals in all competitions.
      How Fernandes compares to Cantona amid his stunning start to life at Man Utd
      Sir Alex Ferguson claimed Fernandes is the exact player United have been missing since his departure with his ability to open up defences.
      Such has been the Portuguese star’s impact in the past 18 months, many have now compared the Old Trafford No18 to club icon Cantona.
      Cantona spent five years at Man Utd, winning four Premier League titles among his NINE trophies.
      And Fernandes has revealed his joy at even being mentioned in the same breath as the Frenchman.
      Fernandes told BBC Sport: “It is an honour to be compared with him.
      “The impact he had was really high and he won many major trophies with the club.
      “But when you are compared with this kind of big player it means you need to be better every day.
      “It makes me work harder to keep in the mind of the people, being compared with him. That, for me, is a good pressure.”

      But has Fernandes really had a big enough impact to be considered as being up there with Cantona? The stats suggest so.
      Cantona played 185 times for the Red Devils, scoring 82 times while laying on 62 assists.
      In all, the France ace was involved in 144 goals at a rate of 0.79 per game.
      Fernandes, meanwhile, has already scored 40 times in under two seasons, while adding a further 25 assists.
      His 65 goal involvements have come from just 79 games, meaning he averages 0.82 goals per game – BETTER than Cantona.
      Of course, Fernandes is yet to get his hands on a trophy at Old Trafford, with Wednesday night’s Europa League final a chance to break that duck.
      But one thing is for sure, fans and pundits aren’t getting ahead of themselves comparing Fernandes to Cantona.
      He’s just as good, if not better…

      How Man Utd could line up in Europa League final against Villarreal as Harry Maguire faces race against time to be fit

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED take on Villarreal for a chance to win their second Europa League title in five seasons on Wednesday night.But they’ll likely have to do it without captain and star defender Harry Maguire.
      How Man Utd could line up against Villarreal with Maguire out
      The England ace, 28, is struggling in his race to be passed fit for the final in Gdansk, Poland after picking up an ankle injury earlier this month.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named Maguire in his 26-man travelling group – but admitted he’s unlikely to turn to his skipper on the pitch.
      The Man Utd boss claimed: “We still hope for Harry, we’re going to give him as much time as possible but the hope is getting slimmer.
      “It’s a blow, definitely. When your captain, your ever-present captain, your leader is out…”
      United will definitely be without Anthony Martial, though.
      The French forward has returned to training following a two-month injury lay-off, but has not been deemed fit enough for the squad.
      Youngsters Amad Diallo, Anthony Elanga – who scored in the 2-1 win at Wolves – and Shola Shoretire have been named in the travelling group.
      David De Gea is likely to beat Dean Henderson to the starting spot between the sticks.

      Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw are certainties to start in the full-back slots, barring any late injuries.
      Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof are set to start together at centre-back, with Axel Tuanzebe also in contention should Maguire not recover.
      In midfield, Fred is likely to be fit enough to start alongside Scott McTominay in the deeper midfield roles following a minor knock.
      Bruno Fernandes will undoubtedly start in the No10 position behind Edinson Cavani up front.
      Marcus Rashford is expected to start on the right wing with Paul Pogba taking on the role on the left flank yet again.
      However, Mason Greenwood will be pushing for a spot in the XI and could start in place of Fred, with Pogba shifting into midfield and Rashford switching to the left.
      Man Utd take on Villarreal in Gdansk on Wednesday night with kick-off 8pm.

      He told talkSPORT: “I’ve got a contract until the summer of 2022.
      “I haven’t really acknowledged them [transfer rumours].
      “I’ve just been focused on each game. Ultimately, I’ve still got a contract here.
      “My main focus is to finish the season strong.”
      Ings, 28, joined Saints from Liverpool in a £20million deal in July 2019 after a one-year loan.
      United and City are both battling over Harry Kane’s signature after the Tottenham striker revealed he wants to leave.
      Ings is another name in the mix, while Pep Guardiola’s side are also thought to be weighing up a move for Romelu Lukaku.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has demanded up to three new signings to mount a Premier League title challenge next season.

      Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo are two other names being discussed by club chiefs.

      Solskjaer said: “I hope we are going to strengthen with two or three players, we definitely need to challenge higher up in the table and we’re still too far behind to think it will just come by itself.
      “We’re not where we aim to be, we’ve got ambitions to move one place further up.”
      When asked last week whether Edinson Cavani’s new contract would stop him buying a new forward, he said: “I can’t say we’re not signing a striker. Of course not.”

      The Sunday Times claim United will also pay him a multimillion-pound signing-on fee to cover any loyalty bonuses Kane, who has three years left on his contract, would forsake if he were to formally hand in a transfer request.
      Kane, 27, has told Tottenham he wants to leave and has openly flirted with an exit – but has NOT put in a written request.
      United hope their compensation package will move them ahead of City and Chelsea in the race.
      The club’s England stars also plan to charm Kane at the Euros and lure him to Old Trafford.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has demanded up to three new signings to mount a Premier League title challenge next season.
      Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo are two other names being discussed by club chiefs.
      Solskjaer said: “I hope we are going to strengthen with two or three players, we definitely need to challenge higher up in the table and we’re still too far behind to think it will just come by itself.

      United face a battle to persuade Kane after the striker this week revealed he dreamed of playing with ‘special’ Kevin De Bruyne.
      And Pep Guardiola opened the door to a move by admitting he would love a 30-goal-a-year hitman.

      Bild claim Coman, 24, earns £200k a week before tax but ‘would like to have it in net’.
      United have apparently ‘indicated’ to the Frenchman they are willing to meet his demands – and make him their joint fifth top earner.
      But there is no guarantee of a quick transfer as Bayern are in no rush to make a decision on his future.
      And the Bundesliga champions will be able to demand a hefty fee with Transfermarkt valuing him at £58.5million.
      United are in the market for a new winger with Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo both top targets.
      Coman has long been linked and could be an alternative.
      The former Juventus star scored the winner in Bayern’s 1-0 Champions League final win over Paris Saint-Germain in 2020.
      He also boasts an incredible record of winning a league title in EVERY season he has played since breaking into PSG’s 2013 team.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed he wants up to three new signings in the summer to mount a Premier League title challenge next season.

      As well as a winger, a sensational move for wantaway Tottenham striker Harry Kane is on the cards.
      Solskjaer said: “I hope we are going to strengthen with two or three players, we definitely need to challenge higher up in the table and we’re still too far behind to think it will just come by itself.

      Speaking in the post-match press conference following the 1-1 draw against Fulham, Solskjaer stated: “Harry, we are working on. It doesn’t look great.”
      Ahead of the clash against the Cottagers, Solskjaer had remarked: “Harry is our leader and he’s been a big miss at the moment.
      “I’ll give him as long as he needs before he says yes or no.
      “He’s making progress but we don’t want to test it out too early. Harry wants this so much but he doesn’t want to take risks either.”

      Maguire has been on crutches and wearing a protective boot since the incident at Villa Park.
      And the ex-Leicester man has spoken of his disappointment that he could miss the final through injury when writing in United’s matchday programme.
      He said: “Basically he [El Ghazi] just fell on me and put all his weight on me and I ended up twisting my ankle.
      “It wasn’t a muscle injury, so it was a bit unfortunate and very frustrating.

      “I was very disappointed on the night and the day after, but I’ve come to terms with it. I’ve got to be positive.
      “I’ve got to look forward and make sure when I’m ready to come back that I’m fully fit, raring to go and can pick up where I left off.”
      Before adding: “I play to be involved in the biggest competitions and win trophies.
