Read our privacy policy Harry Maguire is in contention to wear the Manchester United armband again with club captain Bruno Fernandes suspended for Monday’s visit of Newcastle to Old Trafford. But he has come back into the fold under Ten Hag’s replacement Ruben Amorim, who recently described Maguire as an “example” in the dressing room having started United’s last three Premier League matches. Asked about the prospect of Maguire standing in for Fernandes, Amorim said at the weekend: “You will have to wait until the game and see the captain.” United have lost to Bournemouth and Wolves in the league and been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Tottenham in the last fortnight since their dramatic derby victory over Manchester City this month. Amorim has won four and lost five of his 10 games in the United hot seat but Maguire believes an adjustment period was always likely with the Portuguese different in his approach to Ten Hag.
