HARRY MAGUIRE will miss this weekend's FA Cup final as Manchester United's injury woes continue.
Erik ten Hag has revealed that the England centre-back will miss the Wembley showdown with injury.

Speaking ahead of the clash, Ten Hag said: “Harry Maguire is unavailable but for the rest [Mason] Mount, [Victor] Lindelof and [Anthony] Martial, they are available”.
When probed as to whether the star had suffered a setback in his recovery, Ten Hag reassured fans that wasn't the case.
The Dutchman added: "I don't think so, no. It's just that he didn't make it and didn't heal as we had expected."
Maguire has been out of the Manchester United squad since late April with a muscular injury, but was hoping to return in time for this weekend's FA Cup final with Man City.
The star will now face a race against time to return to fitness ahead of Euro 2024 this summer.
The central defender was named in Gareth Southgate's provisional 33-man training squad for the tournament on Tuesday.
It's understood that the injury is not believed to be bad enough to keep him out of Southgate's trimmed 26-strong squad that will travel to Germany next month.
The Three Lions boss has already described Maguire's Man Utd team-mate Luke Shaw as a "long shot" to make the cut after he was called up to the squad despite carrying an injury himself.
Ten Hag will be keeping his focus firmly on the FA Cup with no concern over the international football in the summer.
The Dutchman is set to gamble with Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane at centre-back against City despite their lack of recent game time.
Argentine World Cup winner Martinez has started just one game since February while Varane’s last start was when he played the first half against Chelsea at the end of last month.

With or without Harry Maguire, I don't see Man Utd with any serious squad that can upset Man City, the serial English Champions.
