Manchester United will have to do without Harry Maguire’s presence for a few weeks for Premier League fixtures and Champions League matches.
This is according to the Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who revealed that the United captain is down with a calf injury.
Now, Solskjaer is left with the choice of considering other options in the club to fill up Maguire’s absence.

Maguire had to walk out in the middle during United’s clash with Aston Villa last weekend where United suffered a 1-0 loss.
Luke Shaw also took time out but his injury is not as severe as Maguire’s.
But, the press pushed Solskjaer for a clear update on Maguire’s fitness.
His response was, “Harry is, more or less, definitely out and it doesn’t look good. It’s Harry’s calf and it might take a few weeks. Let’s see how quickly he recovers..”
The 48-year-old Manchester United manager said there will be a line-up reshuffle with Aaron Wan Bissaka suspension.
“There has to be a reshuffle but that’s why we have a big squad of good players and I’m sure we’ll get a good performance with whoever is selected. With Aaron suspended, we will have to make a few changes.”
Maguire hoped to play against Villareal but injury will keep him away in what Solskjaer says is the norm in football.
Red Devils will on Wednesday square it out with Villareal hoping to redeem themselves after a gallant 2-1 loss to Young Boys.
United will on Saturday play against Everton in their Premier League match at Old Trafford.
