Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has confirmed contract talks are underway at Old Trafford. The £80m defender's current deal expires this summer, with a proposed one-year extension plus an additional year option being discussed. Maguire, 33, believes his future at the club will be resolved within the coming weeks.

Maguire also reflected on former boss Ruben Amorim, admitting the Portuguese manager's tactical ideas "just didn't work at Manchester United" despite his respect for Amorim as a coach. The centre-back suggested both players and management share responsibility for the team's struggles under Amorim, who was sacked in January after 14 months in charge.

With Michael Carrick now in interim charge, Maguire has regained his form and earned an England recall after 18 months. The defender emphasized any contract extension must benefit both himself and the club, rejecting sentiment as a factor in his decision about a potential ninth year at Manchester United.
