Maguire's statement read: "After discussions with the manager today he has informed me he is changing captain. "He outlined his reasons to me and whilst I'm personally extremely disappointed, I will continue to give my all every time I wear the shirt. "So I wanted to say a massive thank you to the Manchester United fans for all their brilliant support whilst I've been wearing the armband. "Since the day I took on the role, three and half years ago, it's been a huge privilege to lead Manchester United and one of the proudest moments of my career to date. "It's one of the greatest honours in club football. I've done everything I possibly could to help United be successful - on and off the field. "I will always be grateful to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for first giving me the responsibility and I wish whoever now takes it on every success and they will have my full support." Maguire started just eight games for United last season after falling down the pecking order under Ten Hag. Bruno Fernandes skippered the Red Devils for the second half of the campaign. And SunSport understands he is likely to get the full-time role. It now remains to be seen if Maguire stays at United, with a pay hike after a top four finish keeping suitors at bay for now.
