Harry Maguire has publicly dismissed reports of a "power struggle" with Cristiano Ronaldo over the Manchester United captaincy.

A story published by The Mirror described how Maguire is said to be undermined by Ronaldo's influence in the dressing room.

"I've seen a lot of reports about this club that aren't true and this is another," Maguire wrote.

"Not going to start posting about everything that is written but I needed to make this one clear. We're united and focused on Sunday. Enjoy your day everyone."

Maguire's social media intervention comes a day after England teammate Marcus Rashford hit out at claims that he is among a group of United players "irritated" by Ronaldo's attempts to lead the dressing room with his own clique.

Ronaldo, who had been on a six-game run without scoring, ended his goal drought in emphatic style with a stunning opener in United's 2-0 midweek win over Brighton at Old Trafford.

The result lifted them up to fourth in the Premier League table.

United are currently without a permanent manager after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked in November, and replaced by interim boss Ralf Rangnick until the end of the season.
