The update on Manchester United\u2018s transfer plans mention that Ten Hag has identified Victor Lindelof as the main replacement at centre-back and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/03\/31\/manchester-united-new-luke-shaw-contract-agreement\/\" target=\"_self\">Luke Shaw<\/a> as a second backup, which seemingly suggests Maguire&#8217;s future is destined to be away from Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch:\u00a0<\/strong><em>Last Word on Football<\/em>\u2018s prediction of how Manchester United will line up next season in Erik ten Hag\u2019s second campaign at Old Trafford:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Manchester United Will Line Up Under Erik ten Hag Next Season\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gxysc8j5UJo?start=4&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The other two players deemed surplus to requirements by Ten Hag according to Delaney are Fred and Scott McTominay.
