Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown believes Harry Maguire will be agonising over what to do this summer.

Maguire faces a crunch choice over whether to stay or leave Old Trafford.

Brown told William Hill and Footy Accumulators' podcast, No Tippy Tappy Football: It's a tough one. No one wants to leave Manchester United, but Erik ten Hag isn't playing him as much anymore. It doesn't look like he is going to be there in the starting 11 when everyone is fit.

It will be a difficult decision, but things could turn around quickly, and he'll be straight back in. Football is a crazy game! I think he'll sit down in the summer with his people and have some big chats, they'll talk it out and see what happens from there. I think it will be up to Harry in the end.

He plays well for England; he's come under a lot of stick the last couple of seasons and I think he has handled it quite well. It gets to the point where it is too much but that is modern football, you have to be able to handle it.

"Ultimately, he'll be disappointed he hasn't played as much but the manager has gone with different players. Personally, he'll have to look at it and I'm sure the manager will want him to stay, but he'll want to talk to him and determine if he is going to play more. From there it is his decision.

When I was a player, Sir Alex Ferguson said he wanted me to stay and that I wouldn't be playing as much, but they still needed me. Anything can happen, and you'll be in. I just hope that he has those conversations with the manager because I think that Harry does need to play, he is not as bad of a player as everybody thinks."
