Harry Maguire praises Man Utd's squad depth after losing starting spot

Harry Maguire has spoken of the importance of Manchester United's squad depth as the club continues to battle for trophies on four fronts.

The Red Devils face Premier League leaders Arsenal on Sunday looking to close the eight-point gap between themselves and the Gunners.

That clash comes ahead of an EFL Cup semi-final first-leg meeting with Nottingham Forest, while United are also in the fourth round of the FA Cup and face Barcelona in the Europa League next month.

With so much to play for, it's important Erik ten Hag rotates his squad to keep everyone fresh, competitive and free of injury.

Despite any frustrations at starting just two of United's last eight matches since the World Cup, centre-back Maguire knows the value of having competition for places.

“I think subs throughout our season have been really important, they’ve scored some crucial goals, players have come on and had a big impact in the game. So we know it’s a squad game,” said Maguire.

“Obviously everyone wants to start and everyone’s disappointed when they don’t start the Games, but that’s the way it should be because we’re all Footballers, we’re all comPetitive, we want to play Football. But we’ve also got to be ready when we’re called upon.

“I think our fixture list from now until the end of the season is relentless, not much break, not much rest in between Games. So I’m sure fresh legs will be used.

“And I think if you’re going to be a successful squad, it’s so important to have competition for places in each position, and I think we’ve got that in this team now.”

Archaeologists have been able to look back at life nearly 400 years ago after a treasure hunter fulfilled his lifelong goal of discovering the remains of a 17th-century ship known as “the Shipwreck of the Century” worth 300 million pounds

ARCHAEOLOGISTS were able to take a peek into life almost 400 years ago after a treasure hunter fulfilled his lifelong goal of uncovering the remains of a 17th-century vessel dubbed the “shipwreck of the century”. The heavily-armed galleon Nuestra Senora de Atocha served as the rear guard of the 20-strong Spanish fleet that left Havana, Cuba, in early September 1622, destined for Spain. In addition to 265 people, the ship was carrying as much as 40 tonnes of silver, gold and around 70 pounds of Colombian emeralds, some of the finest and most expensive in the world. After a hurricane struck on September 5, 1622, eight ships sank – including the Atocha – littering the ocean floor from the Marquesas Keys to the Dry Tortugas, between 30 and 70 miles to the west of Key West, Florida. As the Atocha went down into the water at a depth of 55 feet, rescuers tried to get into the drowned hull but found the hatches were tightly battened. The site of the wreck was marked, but a second hur
