 Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is training three times-a-day in Portugal in a desperate bid to save his Old Trafford career. Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis Sign up Privacy Policy The defender was limited to just eight Premier League starts last season as Erik ten Hag settled on Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez as his first choice centre-back pairing. Maguire has been linked with an exit from Old Trafford but his £200,000-a-week wages are a stumbling block for interested parties. The England ace earned around £160,000-a-week last term but United's return to the Champions League means the squad's 20% paycut for dropping into the Europa League has been reversed. But Maguire remains determined to regain his spot at the Theatre of Dreams as he looks to maintain his position as an England starter ahead of Euro 2024. While a host of United players have already returned to pre-season training, those involved in internationals in June were given extra time off. But Maguire's been hard at work at a private training camp in Portugal during the last three weeks. The defender's been doing triple sessions in a bid to get in peak shape for the upcoming season, and has been doing sessions with Chelsea and Portugal legend Ricardo Carvalho. United team-mate Diogo Dalot took part in some of the sessions in his homeland. Ten Hag is happy to keep Maguire but the club will listen to offers, particularly if they could raise around £35m through the sale of the defender. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
