- Man Utd head out to US for pre-season
- Maguire misses first-team squad’s flight
- Defender set to join up with them
United fans were taken aback when centre-back Maguire was not in the team’s travelling squad to the United States ahead of their Premier League Summer Series campaign. But the England international has moved to allay any fears of a problem following a reported ‘personal matter’, saying he will link up with his team-mates later this week.
In an Instagram story that was reposted on X, Maguire said: “All is fine now. I will be travelling tomorrow (Wednesday) to meet up with the squad. Thanks for your concern.”

Maguire and United have a huge season ahead of them. Head coach Ruben Amorim is under big pressure to get his team going, and despite spending more than £120 million on Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, the Red Devils squad still needs a lot of work. But it will be a boost to know that Maguire is available as they step up their pre-season campaign.
United and their rivals will get a better idea of what shape they are in heading to the new Premier League season when they face West Ham, Bournemouth, and Everton over the next fortnight as part of their United States tour.
