Harry Maguire continues to prove his worth in major matches with Manchester United, having once again delivered a decisive performance against Arsenal last weekend, confirming that he is a player to rely on in the toughest moments on the field.

However, on the other hand, the English defender is one of the highest-paid players on the team, earning about £190,000 a week, a figure that places significant pressure on the club's management under the current financial policy.

The complexities of the situation increase with the approaching end of Maguire's contract in June next year, putting Manchester United in a difficult position: either renew the contract with new terms or risk losing the player without compensation.

According to Andy Mitten in The Athletic, this situation has turned into a real problem within the club's corridors, between the technical need for the player and the impact of his large contract on United's future plans.
