Harry Maguire, the struggling center back for Manchester United, may never play for the Red Devils again, according to former West Ham United attacker Frank McAvennie.

Since he transferred from Leicester City to Manchester United in 2019, Maguire's tenure at the club has been tumultuous.

The England international used to be a regular starter and club captain until manager Erik ten Hag arrived at the club last year.

Maguire quickly fell down the pecking order, below the likes of Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, and Victor Lindelof.

The 30-year-old, who was stripped of his captaincy this summer in favor of Bruno Fernandes, was limited to just 31 appearances across all competitions last season, with only 11 being starts.

He was also linked with a £30 million move to West Ham United, but the transfer fell through.

Speaking on Maguire’s situation, McAvenni said Maguire is not a good player for Manchester United and needs to mature.

“He has got to go through this rough spell. He has got to grow up and take the positives with the negatives,” McAvennie told Football Insider.

“He is not a bad player, but he is not a good player for Man United, and I do not think he will play for Man United again.”

He added, “I can’t understand why he did not want to leave. He could have gone abroad and gotten his confidence back, but he has got to play.”
