Manchester United recently unveiled the decision to strip Harry Magooni of his captaincy title, with the England international rumored to be on manager Van Gaal's purge list. However, there is still no definite progress on the transfer. Van Gaal, who is currently in the United States to lead the team in training, recently made an unexpected change in attitude at a press conference, emphasizing that Harry Magooni is an extremely important player for Manchester United, and expressed his relief at his decision to remain in the team.

Harry Muguni took to Twitter a short while ago to express his "extreme disappointment" at the loss of the captaincy. Van Gaal responded in a press conference saying: "I'm sure we can all understand his disappointment, but this situation is probably a good thing for United and for Harry Magooni himself. He is an extremely important player and as we all know we were in desperate need of four center-backs last season, so we are very fortunate to have a player like Harry Magooni."
