Manchester United are sweating over Harry Maguire’s situation after the midfielder was injured within the late levels of his 3-1 victory in opposition to Aston Villa.

It was about 20 minutes after Greenwood’s strike that Maguire got here out worse in a 50/50 with Anwar El Ghazi and demanded therapy on the sidelines. It appeared like an ankle downside, and he quickly limped down the tunnel to get replaced by Eric Bailly.

It was the primary time in Maguire’s United profession that he was changed and the primary time since he signed from Leicester in 2019 that he missed a minute of league play. But it surely’s not as in the event that they missed him immediately; quickly after his withdrawal, Edinson Cavani struck a 3rd to safe the three factors.
But it surely is a giant concern for Ole Gunnar Solskjær on his method into some vital weeks for the membership. They face Leicester on Tuesday and Liverpool on Thursday and have two extra Premier League matches earlier than the Europa League remaining with Villarreal on 26 Might.
It’s unclear how a lot time Maguire will miss with the harm, but it surely actually places him unsure for the upcoming doublehead with Leicester and the Reds.

If it seems to be a significant issue, it may have penalties for England’s Euro 2020 marketing campaign. Maguire is anticipated to start out for the three lions, however the euro will begin in 4 weeks, with the deadline for naming troops on June 1.
If Maguire continues to be struggling for health then it appears unlikely he will likely be named in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the match.
United are probably to announce their situation on Monday or Tuesday after the membership’s medical employees have been given a probability to evaluate the scenario.
