Ten Hag has warned Maguire his status as captain does not assure him of a starting role.

"I think that doesn’t mean when you are captain you are established to play always," Ten Hag said. "Especially when you also have Varane in your squad.

"We have options. And you have already said… Varane… his stature is immense and in pre-season we took a decision to build him physically so he had a bit of a slow start.

"So he was fit in the first games but in the first period of pre-season he wasn’t always, so we are happy we built him in that way and you see when the team needed him he was really there and his profile, his stature and what he won already in the past shows he can really contribute to his team.

"For the team, there is competition and we need that. We have to cover so many games."
