Taking up David Beckham on his offer would’ve seen Maguire get to ply his trade alongside Lionel Messi in the United States – an opportunity that plenty of veteran players would jump at the chance to do in the latter stages of their career. However, the 33-year-old is fully committed to United, so much so that he even rebuffed interest from Napoli and an offer from AC Milan last year .
From now until May, his sole focus is ensuring United finish the campaign on a high by securing their Champions League spot for 2026/2027; the Premier League are poised to get at least five places in the competition as things stand, so it’s safe to say the Red Devils are favourites to be amongst the mix. Recent Three Lions call-up has Maguire in contention for World Cup Alongside his club endeavours, Maguire will also be quietly hoping that he does enough to retain his place in Thomas Tuchel’s selection for the World Cup. He was called up to the England setup over the international break for the first time since September 2024, earning his 65th and 66th caps in friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.
