Manchester United defender Harry Maguire is reportedly out of the upcoming Manchester Derby against Manchester City this weekend due to playing on through injury for England in the game against Germany on Monday night.
The 29-year-old didn’t have the best game for the Three Lions as they drew 3-3 with Germany, but he also gave it his all for the cause as he carried on playing despite clearly not being at full fitness.
According to the Daily Star, it now looks like Maguire will be out of action for the upcoming Premier League game against City, while he could also face up to two weeks on the side lines.

Maguire hadn’t been a regular for Man Utd anyway, with Erik ten Hag recently preferring Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez as a partnership at the back.
Still, this is far from ideal for the Red Devils, who will need all the options they can get ahead of what will be a hectic period before the winter World Cup in Qatar.
Yes here is Harry Maguire, the Manchester United CAPTAIN, NOT putting his club to the fore. Every PL club will have 2 games a week upto the World cup and will have to use the full of their squads and instead of being fit and ready to play and maybe stake a claim for a regular starting spot, he does a Butcher and plays on while injured. Sorry but if I was Ten Hag he wouldn’t start again for United.
Firstly, Harry Mcguire is not a star. Secondly, in their title winning years Utd always had a dominant centre back that organized the others. Mcguire is not a centre backs arse.
I was actually asking myself what his absence mean to the current squad.
