Maguire joined Manchester United from Leicester City last summer, in a deal worth £80m. He was an ever-present figure in the side over the course of the season and was even appointed as captain following Ashley Young’s departure.
The club is likely to issue further updates on the incident after taking stock of what went down thoroughly. It remains to be seen what actions the club take against Maguire.
