“Unbelievable” Man Utd star gives brief update after injury scare against West Ham | OneFootball

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire gave Michael Carrick a big concern as he left the pitch in the second half while touching his hamstring.

Maguire has been absolutely colossal in recent weeks, forming a brilliant partnership at the back with Lisandro Martinez.

The Sheffield native was also pivotal on Tuesday night against West Ham United, as he made a series of decisive interventions, including a couple to stop Crysencio Summerville in his tracks.

However, the England international’s evening ended prematurely, as he was forced to leave his place on the pitch for Leny Yoro after 68 minutes.

Harry Maguire says he’s ‘alright’ after injury fears

Luckily for Man Utd, the young Frenchman had a splendid cameo, pulling off timely challenges to prevent another West Ham goal, allowing the Reds to stay in the match.

The visitors went on to snatch a last-gasp equaliser through Benjamin Sesko to prevent a first defeat under Carrick. However, Maguire’s condition remained a reason for concern among United fans.

Fortunately, the big defender was quick to dispel the fears, simply by mentioning that he’s ‘alright’.

“Harry Maguire says he’s ‘alright’ when asked about his hamstring in the mixed zone leaving the London Stadium,” revealed The Sun journalist Katherine Walsh.

Time for Carrick to change Man United’s centre-back partnership?

While Maguire has been delivering ‘unbelievable’ displays this season, as Paul Scholes put it, he has been unfortunate with injuries that have interrupted his momentum, especially the thigh problem that kept him on the sidelines for two months.

The good news for Man Utd is that this is a department blessed with quality and depth, as Yoro and Ayden Heaven are some of the most promising young defenders in the Premier League, while Matthijs de Ligt is edging ever closer to his long-awaited return from injury.

Nevertheless, Carrick might be reluctant to break the efficient partnership of Maguire and Lisandro, who have been perfectly complementing one another superbly.

Therefore, if the former Leicester City centre-back is indeed ‘alright’, he will have enough time to nurse this knock and keep his place in the lineup, as United won’t play until February 23, when they entertain Everton in a league contest at Old Trafford
