Dwight Yorke tells Man Utd star to leave after Erik ten Hag humiliation

Dwight Yorke has urged Harry Maguire to leave Manchester United having been ‘humiliated’ by his manager Erik ten Hag.

The England international has endured a turbulent 18 months that culminated in him being stripped of the United captaincy earlier this summer.

Maguire began the new season on the bench as Ten Hag’s side laboured to a fortuitous 1-0 win over Wolves at Old Trafford.

Despite hauling off Lisandro Martinez at half time, the United manager snubbed the opportunity to bring Maguire on, instead opting to introduce Victor Lindelof at the start of the second half.

Maguire had been in talks to join West Ham but that deal has collapsed after he failed to agree personal terms.

Ten Hag is understood to be happy to retain Maguire’s services, viewing him as an ideal squad player, but former United striker Yorke believes it is high time the 30-year-old sought a fresh challenge.

‘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,’ York 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.’
