With Manchester City and Liverpool potentially facing periods of transition, Maguire senses a power vacuum at the top of the Premier League. He believes that with the right investment, United can finally end a title drought that stretches back to 2013, provided they avoid the inconsistency that has plagued their current campaign.
“I think next season you look at it and I think we’ve got to be in the bracket where if we get the recruitment right and everything’s positive from now to the end of the season, and we keep going on the curve there’s no ceiling to where we can reach. We’ve got to be in the conversation to go and win the big trophies. Of course I feel like it is more open to win the Premier League this season. Arsenal are in a strong position, of course. But, next year, come February, March, we don’t want to be adrift like we have been this year. We don’t really want to get carried away. If we were speaking about at the end of last season, you’d probably think we were a bit stupid, really," he concluded.
