"He leads": Ten Hag details 4 important roles Harry Maguire plays at Man United

Speaking ahead of the FA Cup semi-final against Brighton, Erik ten Hag said about Harry Maguire: "He has an important role, he is the captain.

"He leads, he communicates with the manager, motivates the team, he’s the example in the training space".

Maguire is suspended for Sunday's game after collecting his second booking in the competition during the quarter-final success against Fulham.

The Englishman was involved in a mistake for the opening goal in Sevilla's Europa League quarter-final second-leg success on Thursday night, conceding possession after David de Gea had sent a risky pass into the central defender.

He is one of more than a dozen players that United could look to sell this summer, with Ten Hag keen to refresh his squad and raise funds for a summer spending spree.
