MAN UNITED ACCEPTS WEST HAM’S £30 MILLION OFFER FOR HARRY MAGUIRE

 

According to reports, Manchester United has

agreed to West Ham’s £30 million ($38

million) deal for center-back Harry Maguire.

Fabrizio Romano, a soccer source, predicts

that West Ham and Maguire will shortly

begin contract talks. The 30-year-old

 

 

England international is still debating

whether or not he wants to sign with the

Hammers, so the trade is still some distance

from being finalised.

Man United’s head coach Erik Ten Hag has

already told Maguire earlier this offseason

that he will have a hard time cracking the

starting lineup. The player reportedly would

prefer to remain at Old Trafford and fight

for his place in the team but knows that the

lack of playing time might cost him a spot

with the England national team.

 

Harry Maguire still holds the title of world’s

most expensive defender after he made a

£80 million move from Leicester City to

Manchester United in 2019. However, the

move didn’t work out the way the Premier

League powerhouse expected, as Maguire

was error-prone and never brought the

expected stability to the defense.

Maguire lost his place in the team last

season, making only eight Premier League

starts. He was also replaced as the team’s

captain earlier this summer, which

indicated that Manchester United is ready to

move on.
