Man United vs Leeds: Harry Maguire told to leave Old Trafford
Harry Maguire does not look set for a big future at Manchester United and Dwight Yorke believes the England defender needs to leave.
Yorke was speaking to BoyleSports who offer the latest Premier League odds here.
“Harry Maguire has been at Man United for four years now, he’s clearly talented and is still one of England’s number one defenders. If he doesn’t match the philosophy of Erik ten Hag, then there’s nothing he can do but leave the club. Aston Villa would be a great destination for Maguire, they’re ambitious and want to break into the top six.
“Unai Emery has done a fantastic job, they have a great stadium and an amazing fanbase. Villa are looking to bring in established players to break into the European spots consistently and Maguire is one of those established players. It’s a fresh start for Maguire, he can get out of the limelight and blossom again, there are not many better destinations for him to return to his best than Aston Villa.”

Man United vs Leeds: Dwight Yorke urges club to sign Moises Caicedo
Manchester United have already signed Mason Mount from Chelsea but have now been urged to move for one of the Blues’s top targets.
Old Trafford legend Dwight Yorke has backed the move.
“Price tags are ridiculous in football now, it is what it is, but Moises Caicedo is a damn good player and had a great season for Brighton. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Man United sign him because he plays in a position that we need more depth in.
“You see the change in quality when Casemiro comes out of the team due to suspension or injury, we don’t look the same. Caicedo would give that energy in the midfield, he’s very functional in the directiveness of his play and he’s also aggressive and a great tackler. I’m not surprised to see Chelsea are in for him too.”
