Maguire in fitness race for Europa league final

 

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is in race for fitness ahead of the Europa League final.

Maguire was injured in a collision with Anwar El Ghazi in the second half of United’s 3-1 win at Aston Villa on Sunday.

Manchester United play Villarreal in the Europa League final on May 26; England play Austria (June 2) and Romania (June 6) before their first Euro 2020 group game against Croatia on June 13

The injury saw Harry Maguire substituted off for the first time in a Premier League match for Manchester United

The centre-back was replaced by Eric Bailly, meaning he did not complete 90 minutes for the first time in the Premier League since joining united (72 games).

Maguire was seen watching Tuesday night’s Premier League game with Leicester from the directors’ box at Old Trafford, wearing a protective boot and walking with crutches.

He is also likely to miss United’s final matches of the league campaign against Liverpool, Fulham and Wolves.

“He’s obviously had the scans and the good news is there is no fracture,” Ole Solskjaer told MUTV just before the Leicester game.

“[There’s] ligament damage but hopefully we will see him again this season. Hopefully, he’ll be ready for the final.”
