'All is fine now' - Harry Maguire joining Man United tour after personal matter
The 32-year-old was a half-time introduction in Saturday's 0-0 friendly draw with Leeds but was replaced in the 74th minute, then conspicuous by his absence from Tuesday's 32-man tour squad.
The PA news agency understands Maguire remained at home due to a personal matter and the player has now confirmed he will only be a day late joining up with Ruben Amorim's men Stateside.
'All is fine now,' Maguire posted on an Instagram story. 'I will be travelling tomorrow to meet up with the squad. Thanks for your concern.'

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 five 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 on Monday for a fee rising to a potential £71million [€81.72m].
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. It's understood 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 3 August.
Amorim's side welcome Fiorentina, including United great David De Gea, to Old Trafford for their final warm-up friendly on 9 August – the weekend before their Premier League opener at home to Arsenal.

Liverpool in discussions for Rodrygo transfer as Real Madrid schedule meeting to decide future
The Premier League champions have already splashed the cash to bring in Florian Wirtz for a club-record £116million fee, as well a bolstering their squad with further key additions. Goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili's move from Valencia - which was initially agreed last summer - was officially finalised at the beginning of July and he will compete with Alisson Becker. Jeremie Frimpong has been signed as a direct replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold and Milos Kerkez will provide competition for Andy Robertson at left-back. Already the highest spenders in the Premier League this summer, Liverpool's spree is now verging on £300m after agreeing a £79m deal to sign Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike. However, according to various reports, the Reds are still active in the transfer market. In fact, French publication Foot Mercato claim Arne Slot's side have taken the next step in their attempts to land Rodrygo. It has been reported that while no contact has been made with Real Madrid directly yet, discussions have taken place between Liverpool and the 24-year-old's entourage to discover if a transfer is possible. In a massive boost for the Merseyside giants, Rodrygo is said to favour a move to the Premier League if he were to leave the Santiago Bernabeu this summer and this is despite links to Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich. Furthermore, Spanish publication AS state that a meeting will take place between Los Blancos and Rodrygo to clarify his situation and find out if he wishes to seek a new adventure. Liverpool could face competition for the Brazil international's signature as both Arsenal and Tottenham have been heavily linked. Should Rodrygo end up at Anfield then he could be a direct replacement for Luis Diaz who has reportedly performed a surprise U-turn over his future amid links to Bayern Munich or Federico Chiesa after being left out of the Asia pre-season squad tour.
