Harry Maguire has publicly dismissed reports of a “power struggle” with Cristiano Ronaldo over the Manchester United captaincy.
A story published by The Mirror described how Maguire is said to be undermined by Ronaldo’s influence in the dressing room.
I’ve seen a lot of reports about this club that aren’t true and this is another. Not going to start posting about everything that is written but I needed to make this one clear. We’re united and focused on Sunday. Enjoy your day everyone 💪🏻 @ManUtd https://t.co/YxLhQn8pqf

But Maguire took to Twitter on Friday morning to deny there is disharmony among the players at Old Trafford.
“I’ve seen a lot of reports about this club that aren’t true and this is another,” Maguire wrote.
“Not going to start posting about everything that is written but I needed to make this one clear. We’re united and focused on Sunday. Enjoy your day everyone.”
Maguire’s social media intervention comes a day after Marcus Rashford hit out at claims that he is among a group of Manchester United players “irritated” by Ronaldo’s attempts to lead the dressing room with his own clique.
Ronaldo, who had been on a six-game run without scoring, ended his goal drought in emphatic style with a stunning opener in Manchester United 2-0 midweek win over Brighton at Old Trafford, lifting them up to fourth in the Premier League table.
