Harry Maguire has defended his ‘ridiculously high’ win record for Manchester United while hinting at quitting the Red Devils if he continues sitting on the bench
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has defended his record at the club, saying his win percentage as 'ridiculously high', hence the need to play more.
While admitting he could leave the Red Devils in search of regular playing time, Maguire expressed his frustration at being a bit-part player under Dutch manager Erik ten Hag.
Maguire made just eight league starts last season and he was regarded fourth choice in the centre-back pecking order with Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof ahead of him.

It was very touching — Man Utd outcast Maguire opens up on emotional David Beckham conversation
Harry Maguire has opened up on David Beckham's incredible gesture after he came under heavy criticism at the start of the season.
"I'm sure in a couple of weeks I'll go back and find out. If you look back on my last 15-20 starts for club and country, I would be happy to sit here and say I'm really happy with my performances.
"My record under this manager speaks for itself. I haven't started as many games as I like [for United], but my win percentage when I've played is ridiculously high. Of course, there are times when I could do more and times when I could improve and help the team.
"But I'm just wanting to help the team, I'm wanting to help the team get out of this position we're in at the moment. Hopefully we can do that in the coming weeks."
