Maguire Doubtful For League Cup Semi Final Clash With City

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire could miss Tuesday’s League Cup semifinal first leg against Manchester City after picking up an injury in the FA Cup at the weekend, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said.
The England international, who was signed by United for a record 80 million pounds ($104.67 million) for a defender in the close season, suffered a knock on his leg in the first half of Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers but played the full 90 minutes.
Speaking ahead of the clash at Old Trafford, Solskjaer told BT Sport he was unsure if Maguire would be fit for the game.
“We were close to taking him off at halftime but he battled through,” said Solskjaer. “We were not sure if he should continue, but he was adamant he was going to be OK.”
Maguire’s absence would compound Solskjaer’s selection problems, with centre backs Eric Bailly and Marcos Rojo sidelined and United already without midfielders Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay.
Solskjaer hopes to have Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard back for the City clash after they missed the Wolves game through illness.
