Former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam has urged the club’s current captain Harry Maguire to call it quits at Old Trafford.
Maguire has been in a protracted dip in form since the arrival of coach Erik ten Hag.
The 30-year-old has been struggling to fit into the Dutchman’s style of play culminating into the England international now regularly warming the substitutes’ bench.
To Stam, a three-time Premier League champion, Maguire’s time is up.
“If I was Maguire, looking at him and how it’s working out for him, or how it’s going this season, I would have said [he should leave], and I think that’s best for him as well because he needs to play,” Stam said in an interview presented by Bet365.
“You’re at a certain age that you want to play, you need to play football. It seems like Ten Hag doesn’t always believe in Maguire. I think the best thing to do is to go somewhere where you can play week in, week out.”
