The website "TEAMtalk" reported that Manchester United's priority in the coming weeks will be to finalize the future of defender Harry Maguire, whose contract with the club expires next summer.

United is looking to reach a new agreement with the experienced English defender, especially as the coach has relied more on Maguire this season and the player has returned to delivering strong performances.

At the same time, the club plans to sign a new defender next summer. However, according to the report, this move will not be a replacement for Maguire but rather part of a strategy to strengthen the backline and increase defensive depth.

So far, Maguire's future remains uncertain, but Manchester United's management wants to resolve the matter before the player enters the final months of his contract.
