London: Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has denied reports of a power struggle with Cristiano Ronaldo as the club battle to end the season in the Premier League’;s top four.
Maguire has been well below his best this season and it has been reported that the United skipper feels undermined by Ronaldo’;s influence, with his continued role as captain questioned.
United forward Marcus Rashford dismissed talk of a dressing room divide involving Ronaldo earlier this week and Maguire has denied the latest reports.
“I’;ve seen a lot of reports about this club that aren’;t true and this is another,” he posted on Twitter on Friday ahead of Sunday’;s Premier League match at Leeds.
“Not going to start posting about everything that is written but I needed to make this one clear. We’;re united and focused on Sunday. Enjoy your day everyone.
“United’;s 2-0 win against Brighton on Tuesday lifted them back into fourth place in the English top-flight — the top four teams all qualify for next season’;s Champions League.
But the club, under interim manager Ralf Rangnick, face a tough battle, with a number of other sides also in the mix, most of whom have games in hand.
