'We keep monitoring the situation weekly' - Maguire on potential Manchester United wage deferrals

The Red Devils captain has spoken on whether or not the players will be taking a salary cut due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire says he is in weekly discussions with the club over whether or not the players need to take a pay cut or defer their wages to help with the financial burden of Covic-19.

The club confirmed last week they would not be furloughing any of their circa-900 full time employees due to the pandemic ,and all will be paid a full wage.

Southampton became the first Premier League club to announce their players would be taking a wage deferral, and Goal understands that this has been discussed at United - among analysis of a number of different scenarios - but at the moment there are no plans for that to happen.
