Wayne Rooney makes damning Harry Maguire claim after losing Manchester United captaincy
19.07.2023 - 11:51 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Wayne Rooney believes Erik ten Hag has shown he 'doesn't believe' in Harry Maguire by taking the captain's armband off him.
Maguire served as captain for three-and-a-half years after being appointed skipper by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer within six months of his £80million move to Old Trafford. However, the 30-year-old lost his place in Erik ten Hag's side after just two games last season and eventually slipped down the pecking order.
United are open to selling Maguire this summer so his position as captain was untenable. The new captain has not yet been publically announced as the manager wants to inform all of his squad at once, which won't be possible until they're all together on the pre-season tour of the USA.
Rooney has now had his say on the saga and he thinks the best thing for Maguire now would be to leave the club.

“To have the armband taken off you, how does he move forward with the club?” Rooney told The Athletic. “That shows the manager really doesn’t believe in him. It leaves Harry in a position where he has to think on what he does moving forward.
"The manager has shown he is not part of the plans. I’m sure Harry will want to go and play — for himself, for his England career — to put himself in the best position to be as successful as he can. The best thing now is probably for him to move.”
Though Maguire was placed on the transfer list before the window opened, United's £50million valuation could price him out of any move.
