00:00Manchester United have triggered their option of extending Harry Maguire's deal by an additional year, meaning that he will now be contracted to the club until June 2026.
00:12Ruben Amorim confirmed the news at his press conference ahead of the Liverpool match on Friday.
00:18Harry Maguire was technically out of contract at the end of the season, although United did have that option to trigger a one-year extension.
00:24That has now been executed. It means that Maguire will remain at United until the summer at the very least, and then they will have to decide whether to cash in on him while he's still retained to transfer value to the club, or whether they offer him a new contract to take that beyond the June 2026 expiry date.
00:41In terms of other contract news, Manchester United are also near to a new contract with Ahmad Diallo. He's another player who is technically out of contract in the summer, although United do have the option of extending that as well.
00:55Whereas Maguire sought a current extension of his current deal, Ahmad's new deal will be improved. It will be different terms. It will reflect his growing valuation and importance to the squad. He's expected to sign a deal that will keep him at the club for the next few years.
01:11United will be sure to include another one of those additional year clauses as well, to ensure that they always stay in control of his future.
01:21In terms of the Liverpool match, United will be without Marcus Rashford. Continued speculation about his future and what might happen next. United are receptive to letting him go this month, whether that is a permanent sale or a loan of the obligation to buy.
01:36Right now it's difficult to see any offers on the table that would be suitable for him. United not only need to get a good transfer valuation for the player, but they need someone who will pay the majority of his high wages as well.
01:49But Marcus Rashford won't be involved against Liverpool at Anfield this Sunday due to illness. And the next time we see him in that shirt could be, well maybe, never again.
01:59He might have played his last match. Who knows what will happen regarding his future in this saga in the January window.
02:05He was only recalled to the squad against Newcastle due to the fact United were without their suspended Fernandes and Ugarte. They will both be back against Liverpool this weekend.
02:14So Maguire has signed a new one-year deal extended of his old contract. Amad is close to a new contract altogether. There will be no Marcus Rashford against Liverpool this weekend.
