00:00 When Manchester United paid a record £80m fee to make Harry Maguire the world's most expensive defender in 2019, one of his biggest attractions was his ability to lead.
00:12 After four managers in his time, it looks like he's on his way out of the club. So what changed for him and why could it be ending on such a sour note?
00:21 In my eyes, he's still a good player. You see his performances, Franklin he puts in, but for Manchester United he's just had a really bad run. I think it's probably in everyone's best interest now to move on.
00:31 It's a bit of an embarrassing situation for him to have the captaincy taken off him. It's a clear indication that he's not in Ten Hag's first team plans.
00:40 It was always likely that Eric Ten Hag would switch his captains this summer. Now he has his feet under the Old Trafford table and his rebuild is taking shape.
00:50 Maguire, it seems, will have a limited role at best, but surely it's the best way forward for all parties involved.
