Manchester United have confirmed that Harry Maguire has signed a new contract, keeping the England defender at Old Trafford beyond the end of this season.
Maguire, who was due to become a free agent, has agreed to an initial one-year deal until June 2027, with the option to extend for a further 12 months.
“Representing Manchester United is the ultimate honour. It is a responsibility that makes myself and my family proud every single day,” Maguire said. “I am delighted to extend my journey at this incredible club to at least eight seasons and continue to play in front of our special supporters to create more amazing moments together.”
Jason Wilcox, Manchester United’s director of football, added, “Harry represents the mentality and resilience required to perform for Manchester United. He is the ultimate professional who brings invaluable experience and leadership to our young, ambitious squad. Harry, like everyone at the club, is completely determined to help Manchester United achieve regular and sustained success.”
Maguire joined United from Leicester City in 2019 for a then-British-record fee of £80 million ($106m). He has made 266 appearances for the club, scoring 17 goals, and has been instrumental in United’s revival under Michael Carrick, earning a recall to the England squad ahead of March internationals against Uruguay and Japan.
