Harry Maguire says missing FA Cup final and Euros probably his ‘toughest moment’

• Defender missed showpieces with calf injury
• 31-year-old for sale at right price but expects to stay

Harry Maguire has described ­missing Manchester United’s FA Cup final triumph over Manchester City and England’s Euro 2024 campaign with an injury as “probably the toughest moment” of his career.

A year ago Erik ten Hag stripped Maguire of the United captaincy and the defender came close to joining West Ham later in the summer. He was at that point the fifth-choice centre-back, behind Lisandro Martínez, Raphaël Varane, Victor­ ­Lindelöf and Luke Shaw.
