Former Manchester United centre-back Marcos Rojo has claimed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was forced to play Harry Maguire every week because of the Englishman's high price tag.

United fought off serious competition from Manchester City to sign Maguire from Leicester in 2019, parting with over £80m to get a deal done.

Since then, however, Maguire has faced significant criticism from fans and rivals alike and, after three seasons as a starter, has been demoted by new manager Erik ten Hag.
