Manchester United's coaching staff continue to have concerns over Harry Maguire's defensive ability, according to reports.

The England centre-half has struggled for meaningful game time since Erik ten Hag's arrival last summer, regularly losing out to first team stalwarts Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez - and on occasion to hybrid defender and international team-mate Luke Shaw.

Maguire became the world's most expensive defender in 2019 after his £80million switch from Leicester to Old Trafford and has since taken on the responsibility of club captain at United, despite struggling to justify his hefty price tag.

His lack of minutes under Ten Hag has not influenced the view of England boss Gareth Southgate, who started the centre-half in both of the Three Lions' Euro 2024 qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine. 

At Carrington, Manchester United's training base, the coaching staff reportedly still have questions over the defender's qualities at the back.
