Maguire a doubt for manchester derby with ankle injury solskjaer confirms
According to the latest reports, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that Harry Maguire is a doubt for the upcoming Manchester Derby against Manchester City due to an ankle injury.
Maguire, who has been a key player for the Red Devils this season, suffered the injury during United's 1-0 win over West Ham United on Sunday. The defender was forced off the pitch in the 64th minute and was replaced by Victor Lindelof.
Solskjaer has revealed that Maguire is undergoing treatment and will be assessed ahead of the Manchester Derby, which takes place on Saturday. The Norwegian manager is optimistic that Maguire will be fit for the big game, but he will not take any risks with the defender's fitness.
"We'll assess him [Maguire] tomorrow and see how he is," Solskjaer said in his pre-match press conference. "He's got a bit of an ankle problem, but we'll see how he is tomorrow and make a decision then."
Maguire's availability for the Manchester Derby is crucial for United, as they look to bounce back from a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers in their previous match. The defender has been in excellent form this season, and his absence would be a significant blow to the Red Devils' chances of getting a positive result against their city rivals.
We'll have to wait and see how Maguire's injury develops, but for now, it's looking like he's a doubt for the Manchester Derby.
