Manchester United announces today that Harry Maguire signs a new contract that keeps the England defender at Old Trafford until June 2027, with the club holding an option for one extra year.
As reported by ESPN on Tuesday, the 33-year-old stood on the verge of leaving as a free agent at season’s end. However, he quickly agrees to fresh terms and commits his future to the club he loves.
Maguire first arrived at Manchester United from Leicester City in a reported £80 million transfer in 2019. Since then, he makes 266 appearances across all competitions, scores 17 goals, and provides 9 assists.

Furthermore, the experienced centre-back emerges as a vital leader in the heart of United’s defence. He helps the team regain its shape and confidence under interim manager Michael Carrick. Moreover, his consistent performances since January earn him a well-deserved recall to the England squad for the March internationals.
Maguire speaks with pride about the extension: “Representing Manchester United is the ultimate honour. I am delighted to extend my journey at this incredible club and continue to play in front of our special supporters. The ambition and potential of this squad is clear, and I am confident our best moments are still ahead.”
”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.
“You can feel the ambition and potential of this exciting squad. The determination throughout the whole club to fight for major trophies is clear for everyone to see and I am confident that our best moments together remain ahead of us
Additionally, Manchester United’s director of football, Jason Wilcox, praises the defender’s leadership and professionalism. Wilcox highlights that Maguire brings “invaluable experience” to a young and ambitious squad that continues to grow.
