Maguire had a frustrating season this past season only managing to make a total of 16 Premier League appearances for the Red Devils. In some of the games he played, the defender often made crucial mistakes at the back which led to goals.

ROONEY SAYS MAGUIRE SHOULD FIND ANOTHER CLUB THIS SUMMER

Speaking to The Athletic, Rooney said ten Hag showed that he didn’t believe in Maguire after taking the captaincy off him.

:”To have the armband taken off you, how does he move forward with the club?”

“That shows the manager really doesn’t believe in him. It leaves Harry in a position where he has to think on what he does moving forward,” Rooney added.

“The manager has shown he is not part of the plans. I’m sure Harry will want to go and play — for himself, for his England career — to put himself in the best position to be as successful as he can,” he said this week.

Rooney said the best thing now for Maguire is to leave the club.
