Harry Maguire is NOT close to joining Aston Villa this month despite being pictured in a restaurant near the Villans' Bodymoor Heath training ground - with the Man United and England defender playing golf at The Belfry

Harry Maguire will not be joining Aston Villa in the January window, despite recent speculation that the Manchester United skipper could be on his way to their Premier League rivals.

The defender was pictured at a restaurant near Unai Emery's side's Bodymoor Heath training ground on Saturday, sparking rumours that the England star could be on his way out of Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag has already begun to shake things up in the Red Devils' dressing-room by imposing a 'Ronaldo Rule' salary cap, as well as cracking down on bad behaviour, but Maguire is not thought to be close to an exit with the Dutchman keen to keep defensive cover.
