Harry Maguire who is Manchester United captain has been ruled out of the clash against Chelsea on Thursday evening, 28 April, and the Englishman is now set to be out for the rest of the season.

This latest development about Harry Maguire would come as joyous news for many Manchester United fans considering how they have been criticizing the defender this season.

Many supporters of the Red Devils have even questioned the club's eggheads on why Harry Maguire was made the captain of the club asking for him to be stripped of the captaincy.

And to make things more difficult for Harry Maguire, the Englishman recently received a bomb threat in which police were ordered to move to his Cheshire mansion for investigation.

According to the reports in the Daily Mail, Manchester United interim coach Ralf Ragnick made it clear that Harry Maguire won't be part of his squad for the tie against Chelsea.

What are the things said by Ralf Rangnick?

‘'Harry Maguire is not available, he has some issues with his knee and not a big thing, a niggle with his knee. He didn't train yesterday nor today.''

With four games to end the ongoing Premier League season, the report added that Harry Maguire could have played his last game for Man United this term.

Is Manchester United still in the race for the top 4?

Although, it currently looks difficult for Manchester United as they are placed 6th with 54 points and the result of their game against Chelsea would give them a big signal.

Chelsea occupy third position with 65 points after 32 games, while Arsenal are in 4th with 60 points.

Rangnick advises Erik Ten Haag to allow Manchester United to pick their new captain

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick will ask incoming head coach Erik Ten Haag to strip Harry Maguire of captain responsibilities.

Rangnick will become the new technical director and is expected to have a say in major decisions. Maguire’s stay at Old Trafford has been underwhelming.

The England international has been on the receiving end for his defensive frailties. He has been widely ridiculed for lack of proper positioning and poor defending.

Rangnick recently dropped him in United’s 3-1 loss to Arsenal.
