The 31-year-old defender joined the club from Leicester City in 2019 and his deal was set to expire this coming summer, but it will now run until June 2026.<p>Maguire has made 222 appearances, scored 12 goals, and lifted two major trophies as a Red Devil so far: the 2023 Carabao Cup and the 2024 Emirates FA Cup. And the centre-back harbours ambitions of achieving more success in the future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking in a press conference to preview Sunday\u2019s Premier League match against Liverpool at Anfield, Amorim confirmed the news of Harry\u2019s one-year contract extension to reporters. Ruben also admitted another player is close to signing fresh terms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cAmad is near, Harry Maguire we are going to trigger our option. I spoke with him [Harry] this morning and I told him he has to improve on the pitch, we need him a lot. Also, he has to improve as a leader. We all know the situation that he had here but we need him a lot in this moment, so we are going to trigger, happily, the option for him.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Harry has played seven matches under Ruben so far and his ability to play in a back three - a formation he has experienced regularly with England - has allowed him to impress, most notably in the recent 2-1 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. He has also worn the captain\u2019s armband in Bruno Fernandes\u2019s absence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cAmad is near, Harry Maguire we are going to trigger our option.
