Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag expressed uncertainty regarding the severity of Harry Maguire's injury after the defender was forced off during a goalless draw against Aston Villa. Maguire, who returned to the starting lineup alongside Jonny Evans, appeared to have sustained a muscle injury while defending a corner kick. He was visibly in pain as he was assisted off the pitch and replaced by Matthijs de Ligt for the second half.
Ten Hag stated that the team would assess the situation further, indicating that they would provide updates on Maguire's condition the following day. With the international break underway, United will have time to recuperate before their next match against Brentford on October 19.
