Harry Maguire not with Man Utd squad flying to USA due to personal matter
The 32-year-old defender was a half-time introduction in Saturday's 0-0 friendly draw with Leeds but was replaced in the 74th minute.
Maguire was conspicuous by his absence from United's 32-man tour squad announced on Tuesday.
PA understands it is due to a personal matter rather than injury, with the club hoping he will be able to join the group in due course.

Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia have unsurprisingly joined Barcelona-bound Marcus Rashford in being omitted from the travelling party heading for Chicago.
The quintet are searching for new clubs and have been training away from Ruben Amorim's first-team squad since indicating that they wish to explore a future away from Old Trafford.
Bryan Mbeumo is part of the group after completing his move from Brentford for a fee rising to £71millon on Monday.
Fellow summer arrivals Matheus Cunha, whose partner recently gave birth, and Diego Leon are also on the plane.
Lisandro Martinez is included as he continues his rehabilitation from a cruciate ligament injury sustained in February. PA understands the United defender is not yet ready for team training.
Amorim's side are flying from Manchester to their base in Chicago, where they will play Bournemouth at Soldier Field on July 30 as part of the Premier League Summer Series.
They start the pre-season tournament at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey – host of next year's World Cup final – against West Ham on Saturday evening local time.
United finish their three-game trip against Everton at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Atlanta on August 3.
Amorim's side welcome Fiorentina, including United great David De Gea, to Old Trafford for their final warm-up friendly on August 9 – the weekend before their Premier League opener at home to Arsenal.

England celebrates 'chaotic and ridiculous' Euro 2025 win
Substitute Chloe Kelly, whose extra-time winner at Wembley secured the Lionesses their first major trophy three summers ago, was once again the hero, coolly converting in the shootout with the World Cup holders following a 1-1 extra-time stalemate. Wiegman has now led teams - first the Netherlands, now England - to the trophy at the last three European Championships, though none, admitted the Dutchwoman, was more 'chaotic' and 'ridiculous' as this.

Spanish media hit out at England's Chloe Kelly for ‘unnecessary' and ‘cocky' celebration following penalty to win Euros
Kelly smashed home the decisive spot-kick in the shootout as England beat Spain to defend their European crown. Three years after scoring the winner in the Euro 2022 final, Kelly wrote her name in history again as the Lionesses became the first senior English team to win a trophy on foreign soil. It was a special moment for Kelly, who wanted to give up football at the start of the year after a toxic fall-out with Manchester City before she joined Arsenal in January. But Spanish media have hit out at the Arsenal star for celebrating her penalty in front of Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll. Spanish outlet Diario AS say Kelly purposely ran towards Coll after scoring her penalty. In a comment with a video clip of the winning moment, they wrote: 'This is unnecessary, my friend: Kelly's cocky gesture to Cata Coll after scoring the decisive penalty. 'The England specialist changed her run during her penalty celebration to get past the goalkeeper she had just beaten.' In their match report, Diaro AS stated England 'robbed' Spain as the Lionesses got revenge for their defeat against La Roja in the World Cup final in 2023. 'The dream ends in a nightmare,' they said. 'Spain lost the European Championship on penalties. England tied a match that Spain largely dominated. 'History is made by victories, and also by defeats. Spain fell in the European Cup final but left its name sealed in gold. 'England robbed them of their dream; the world champions couldn't close the circle they began to write two years ago in Sydney.'
