      But the England international’s struggles continued at the start of this season and now he has found himself regularly warming the bench.
      Despite being linked with a transfer switch to both Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain, exclusively revealed by Sun Sport, the defender has been adamant that he is happy at United.
      However, Jaap Stam is adamant that Maguire’s time is up at his former club.
      The Dutchman, who won the Premier League three times during his three-year stint under Sir Alex Ferguson, told Adam Catterall on the debut episode of Full Circle, presented by Bet365: “If I was Maguire, looking at him and how it’s working out for him, or how it’s going this season, I would have said [he should leave], and I think that’s best for him as well because he needs to play.

      “You’re at a certain age that you want to play, you need to play football. It seems like Ten Hag doesn’t always believe in Maguire.
      “I think the best thing to do is to go somewhere where you can play week in, week out.”
      And Stam explained that he knows full well how hard it is to leave United.
      He called his arrival at the Theatre of Dreams in 1998 from PSV the “greatest moment” of his career but was shunted out of the exit door by Fergie following a fall-out with the iconic manager over the release of a controversial autobiography.

      Stam added: “That was a very low point… The book deal of course was a big part of that.
      “I could have stayed, of course, I could have said to the club that I don’t want to leave.
      “Eventually, I might play again, but the manager at that time went with different players… I would be on the bench. And he knew with my mentality, and the type of player I was, that I always wanted to play.” More

      by

      DAVID DE GEA could be offered the carrot of a money-spinning testimonial if he agrees to take a pay cut.The Manchester United keeper has a new deal on the table, which would see his present £375,000-a-week basic salary drop by nearly 50 per cent.

      De Gea, 32, is out of contract next summer and wants to stay at Old Trafford but so far talks over fresh terms have stalled.
      United boss Erik ten Hag has given his public backing to the Spaniard, although it is understood concerns remain from the player’s camp that he may not be No.1 next season.
      De Gea was signed from Atletico Madrid in 2011 and the pandemic meant plans for a testimonial year were put on the backburner.
      He is now into his second decade at United and the club will look to recognise his long service – if he puts pen to paper in the coming weeks.

      Ten Hag has been linked with other top keepers in recent months.
      It’s thought United have sent scouts to watch Porto stopper Diogo Costa.
      And the Red Devils are reportedly interested in Everton’s England No1 Jordan Pickford.
      Brentford’s David Raya has also been mentioned, although incoming Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is favourite to lure the Spaniard.

      Arsenal look to have spurned the Premier League title after leading the way for almost the entire season.
      Defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening would clinch the title for Manchester City.
      And even if the Gunners take three points at the City Ground, Pep Guardiola’s men will seal a fifth league crown in six seasons with a win over Chelsea on Sunday.
      Meanwhile, Orban will be hoping his performances this season can convince Man Utd to sign him ahead of the likes of Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen.
      As well as his goals, Orban hit the crossbar straight from kick-off earlier this season.
      And he scored an outrageous overhead kick against West Ham in the Europa Conference League quarter-finals.
      Orban cost Gent £2million when he joined the club in January from Norwegian side Stabaek. More

      Many are speculating whether it may have been Kane’s final appearance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium amid speculation surrounding a potential move away.
      He is preparing to enter the final 12 months of his contract in North London.
      Manchester United are being heavily linked with a move for the Lilywhites’ all-time record scorer.
      And Crouch, 42, who spent two seasons with Tottenham between 2009 and 2011, revealed before the game with Brentford that he had discussed Kane’s future with the man himself.

      Speaking on BT Sport, he said: “I did ask him the question (is it his last home game for Spurs) and he was very diplomatic in his answer. I don’t think even he knows. 
      “He might have ambitions to go somewhere else and potentially win a trophy but it’s not just down to him, he still has a year left.
      “There’s a man at the club that doesn’t want to lose his star player and what would it mean to these fans to lose a player of Kane’s calibre?
      “Where can he go? Manchester City City is sewn up now. Manchester United is the only real option I can see. You can’t go to Chelsea. You can’t go to Arsenal.

      “Newcastle is potentially an option but I still feel that’s a sideways move. Newcastle got great potential but I feel like he might as well stay at Tottenham.”
      Kane has scored 277 goals in 433 appearances for Spurs.
      And while the team have endured a disappointing campaign, Kane has maintained a fine goalscoring record – bagging 30 goals in 48 games.
      It is understood he would set Man Utd back around £100million if they attempted to sign him this summer.
      But the Red Devils are also interested in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, while Benfica’s Goncalo Ramos is also in the frame.
      After Crouch’s comments, Rio Ferdinand added: “You need the answer from him. We need to hear from Harry. He’s very guarded on what he wants to talk about regarding his future which is understandable.
      “It’s down to what he sees as the benchmark for his career. What does he want out of his career?
      “Does he want to beat the personal accolades of being top goal scorer for England, a one club man at Spurs and dominating all the stats? Or does he want more onus on it being a team sport and winning things as a team?'” More

      And he is one of two strikers being heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford at the end of the season along with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.
      Tottenham are thought to value Kane at around £100million despite the possibility of him departing for free next summer.
      And Cole does not believe things would end well for Man Utd if they were to strike a deal for Kane.
      Speaking to William Hill, he said: “Manchester United can’t go with a short-term solution again.

      “They can’t go and spend £80 million or £100 million on Harry Kane. In two years’ time they’ll turn round and say to themselves, ‘he’s 32, we need to get ourselves another striker’. They can’t afford to find themselves in that position again.
      “When you look at the recognised strikers that Manchester United have had, you look at the likes of Robin van Persie, but the crazy thing is that he only stayed for two years, and ever since then it has just been one after another for two years.
      “A football club like Manchester United cannot just keep having different strikers for two years at a time, it’s ridiculous.

      Kane is the all-time record goalscorer for both Tottenham and England.
      And he has continued to impress this season despite Spurs’ dismal campaign, bagging 29 goals in 47 appearances.
      He recently hinted he could stay in North London as he discussed Tottenham’s long-term future.
      Speaking about the Europa Conference League, Kane, who is yet to win a trophy, said: “You can’t disrespect any competition that you play in.
      “It’s one of those, if you end up in the Conference League and win it, it’s worth it. If you don’t, then people probably look at it as an inconvenience.
      “But when you’ve been at a club where we haven’t won a trophy for 15 years, if we do end up in it, it could be an opportunity to try and put that to bed.”
      Tottenham occupy seventh in the Premier League table with two games remaining – a spot that would see them qualify for the Europa Conference League.
      Their final games come at home to Brentford and away at Leeds.
