HARRY MAGUIRE has dealt Manchester United another injury scare.

The centre-back was withdrawn midway through the second half of England’s 1-0 defeat to Brazil yesterday and had a scan today.

Gareth Southgate took off Maguire, alongside Ben Chilwell, in what was thought to be a planned substitution.

The former Leicester team-mates were replaced by Lewis Dunk and Joe Gomez at Wembley.

But Maguire is now a major doubt for Tuesday’s friendly against Belgium.

And Erik ten Hag will be sweating over United’s run-in, starting with Saturday’s Prem trip to Brentford.

Maguire was making his first start for club or country since February 24.

However, he lasted just 67 minutes.

His only other action was in United’s thrilling 4-3 FA Cup victory over Liverpool last weekend.

United are already without Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia.

Maguire, meanwhile, has only recently returned from a groin injury.

He missed five games over Christmas with the same issue.

Kyle Walker also had a scan after coming off clutching his hamstring inside the first 20 minutes.

The Manchester City right-back also looks set to miss out England’s final game before Southgate names his squad ahead of the Euros.

Walker – who pinged the ball into the back of Maguire in comical scenes just before he limped off – had his place at full-back filled by Ezri Konsa.

Southgate was already without the likes of Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Jack Grealish and Trent Alexander-Arnold for the friendly against Brazil.

Supersub Endrick grabbed the only goal of the game as the 17-year-old tapped into an empty net after Jordan Pickford denied Vinicius Junior.
