Speaking to the official Manchester United podcast, the England international said:

Clubs have different rules governing training ground comportment, and one at Manchester United forbids the use of phones by players during training sessions.

Harry Maguire is seen in many quarters as a consummate professional, but this latest revelation gives an insight into how highly professional footballers take their regimen.

How sustainable is Manchester United’s title charge?

After an indifferent start to the season, a 13-game unbeaten run helped the Red Devils surge to the top of the table.

Morale was high, and there was talk among the club fans about ending their eight-year wait for league glory.

However, a harrowing defeat to bottom-placed Sheffield United, coupled with a dour draw against Arsenal put paid to those thoughts. But the club responded in style with an emphatic performance at home to Southampton.

Manchester United ran rampant in a 9-0 victory over the Saints to equal the record margin of defeat in a Premier League game.

That win puts the Mancunians three points behind city rivals Manchester City, although Pep Guardiola’s side have a game in hand.

The Red Devils will find themselves in the unwanted position of cheering bitter rivals Liverpool to victory on Sunday when they host the Cityzens.

Up next for Manchester United will be a tricky assignment at home against Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton, that have flattered to deceive throughout the season.

It remains to be seen whether the Old Trafford outfit can maintain their title charge. However, if they are to reclaim their place at the summit successfully, they must eliminate the inconsistencies that have plagued them in the last few years.
