  • Maguire said, "You'd be silly if you wanted to jump out of it as soon as you could," adding that a future contract discussion will occur before the January transfer window.
  • Maguire expressed gratitude for playing at Manchester United and indicated he prefers to stay, but he may discuss his future with the club and potentially talk to overseas clubs in January.
