Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo
The report said Harry Maguire felt marginalised after Cristiano Ronaldo was asked to help mentor young players

The reports of a rift between captain Harry Maguire and his teammate, the player that is the most famous in the world, are absolutely nonsense.

A story in the Mirror said the pair were "embroiled in a power struggle" over the club's captaincy.

The man says that he has been told what was written and that he knows it isn't true.

The German said that he had never spoken with players about captaincy.

It has never been an issue with me. Harry is our captain and will remain so.

The report suggests that the authority of the captain has been undermined by the return of the older player.

The England defender responded on social media to say the report was not true, and he and his team-mates are focused on the game.

I know it is not true, and I don't listen to that noise.

I have heard about it. There were players who were unhappy at the end of the transfer window. The locker room atmosphere is better now than it was a few weeks ago.

It is about showing togetherness on the pitch and performing well. That is what we can influence.

He is looking forward to playing at a full Elland Road because of the rivalry between Manchester United and Leeds.

He said that they had a lot of local derbies in Germany.

It is the first game for Manchester United in a full stadium since they left the top flight. We are looking forward to it.
