Ex-Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood has said that Harry Maguire is likely to play more for Manchester United following his recent outings. Sherwood also said that manager Erik ten Hag should apologise for forcing the defender's exit earlier this summer.
Maguire, 30, has impressed with his fine performances this campaign. He has helped them win their last three games across competitions, keeping a shutout and netting the winner in the 1-0 UEFA Champions League Group A clash against Copenhagen.
Before the start of the season, Maguire was speculated to leave Old Trafford after failing to earn Ten Hag's trust last term. He was reportedly linked with a £30 million move to West Ham United in the summer but decided to stay and fight for his spot.

On the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, Sherwood shared his thoughts on the 60-cap England international's situation at Manchester United (h/t GOAL):
"Maguire was getting shoved out the door, and you could see that the manager was trying to edge him out but he didn't want to leave.
"He probably looked around the dressing room, saw how flaky the other players in his position were and decided that he’d eventually get some minutes."
Urging Ten Hag to offer an apology to the Englishman, Sherwood said:
"As a manager, when you have a player like Maguire who wants to give everything for the cause and leave nothing on the pitch, you can deal with that.
"I think he will play a lot more now, and I think Erik ten Hag owes him an apology."
Chris Sutton predicts result of Manchester United-Manchester City clash
In his column for BBC, ex-Chelsea attacker Chris Sutton predicted a 5-1 win for Manchester City in their Premier League contest at Manchester United on Sunday (October 29).
He wrote:
"The talk before the season started was whether United were any closer to City but, from what we've seen, they are miles off and I am expecting this game to prove it.
"I might give United a goal, because of their threat on the break, but City should still run away with it."
Manchester City, who won their fifth Premier League title in six years last season, are second this season after nine games. They have 21 points six ahead of their arch- rivals.
The Cityzens have won 13 games, drawn thrice and lost eight times in their last 24 Premier League meetings with Manchester United.
