Erik ten Hag sticks up for embattled Harry Maguire, who is back at Manchester United with an injury from England duty, after players and coaches told captain 'we believe in you' despite recent issues

Erik ten Hag says Harry Maguire has the full support of everyone at Manchester United after the beleaguered defender continues to struggle for form and fitness.

Ten Hag confirmed that Maguire will miss Sunday’s Manchester derby at the Etihad with the thigh injury he sustained on international duty. The 29-year-old was blamed for two of the three goals England conceded in the 3-3 draw with Germany at Wembley as he hit a new low.

But Ten Hag says he has spoken to his captain to offer support, and says that Maguire has the backing of all his teammates as well.
