Maguire wants 'huge threat' Rashford to stay at Man Utd

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has expressed his desire for Marcus Rashford to remain at Old Trafford, citing the forward's ability to enhance the team's performance. Rashford recently made his first appearance for United since December 2024, coming on as a substitute in a pre-season match against AC Milan in Wroclaw. He demonstrated skill with a corner flag touch and came close to scoring, earning the number nine shirt on an interim basis due to Benjamin Sesko's injury.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Rashford's future before the September 1 transfer deadline, Maguire believes he would be a valuable asset to the team. The defender highlighted Rashford's threat, stating that he can improve the squad and that he has played alongside him for many years, finding that playing with him in training would only strengthen their bond.

Maguire also touched on the disappointing nature of United's pre-season performance, which was their worst before the Premier League opener at Hull. The captain acknowledged the need for improvement, particularly in their aggressive and forward play. Despite the setback, Maguire remains optimistic about the team's prospects, praising Rashford's potential and expressing his desire for the player to stay at Old Trafford.
