Maguire appeared to injure his groin and was replaced by Jonny Evans in the 40th minute after signaling he could not play on. The England center back pulled up unchallenged and looked in discomfort as he clutched the inside of his left leg.
Ten Hag quickly instructed Evans to warm up as Maguire was treated by one of the team’s physios.
He came back onto the field, but was still holding his groin and waved to the dugout that he could not carry on.
