Maguire was put on the bench by coach Ralf Rangnick in MU’s 1-3 loss to Arsenal on April 23 after the English midfielder’s family was threatened with a bomb. And now, the 29-year-old has suffered a serious knee problem and is in danger of missing the rest of the season.

Maguire rests until the end of the season

In the press conference before the match against Chelsea, interim coach Ralf Rangnick confirmed that Maguire has joined MU’s long injury list and will be absent. Before that, Luke Shaw, Paul PogbaEdinson Cavani and Fred are all still sidelined, while Aaron Wan Bissaka is facing a fitness test.

Rangnick said: “Harry Maguire will not be available for the Chelsea game, he has some knee problems. He didn’t train yesterday nor today.”

But according to the Daily Mail, Maguire’s injury is worse than expected and could keep him out for several weeks, meaning he will not be able to play the last four matches in the Premier League this season. This will be the end of a difficult season for the England midfielder after he has repeatedly faced criticism about his form as well as question marks about the captain’s armband.

Earlier on April 22, coach Ralf Rangnick confirmed that Pogba was almost unable to play until the end of the season, when the French midfielder’s contract expired. Pogba suffered a calf injury after 10 minutes in MU’s 0-4 defeat to Liverpool. The test results showed that the French midfielder’s condition was worse than expected and had to take at least 4 weeks off to fully recover.

The injury crisis comes to MU in the context that they are struggling in the top 4 race in the Premier League this season. The “Red Devils” are currently 6th in the table with 54 points, 6 points behind Arsenal’s 4th place and have played more than 1 match.
