Harry Maguire: Marcus Rashford can improve Manchester United

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has publicly expressed his desire for Marcus Rashford to remain at Old Trafford. Despite uncertainty surrounding the forward's future with the summer transfer window closing on September 1, Maguire remains convinced of the player's value to Michael Carrick's squad.

Rashford made his return to action as a substitute in the pre-season friendly against AC Milan in Wroclaw. The match ended in a 4-2 defeat, marking what Maguire described as the team's worst performance of the pre-season.

Obviously the transfer window is still open. As players, we hope he stays because if he does, he is a big asset to have. He can improve us for sure. Harry Maguire

Maguire highlighted the immediate impact Rashford had, noting the threat he posed to the opposition's backline upon entering the pitch. While Carrick has stopped short of confirming Rashford's status, the sentiment within the dressing room remains firmly in favor of keeping the England international.

Beyond the transfer situation, Maguire also shared positive words regarding former manager Ruben Amorim. The players met with the Portuguese manager post-match, who spoke warmly of his time at the club, despite his departure last season.
