Manchester United ‘OPEN’ to getting summer deal done for £80M defender

ESPN reports that Manchester United are ‘open to offers’ for centre-back Harry Maguire this summer transfer window.

The England centre-back is concerned over his game time having fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford and losing the captaincy.

Maguire, 30, was linked with a January move to WEST HAM as the Hammers were prepared to pay £20 million to get a transfer deal done, but Red Devils boss Erik Ten Hag made the strange decision to keep hold of the defender.

However, Maguire accepted his lack of opportunities could become an issue sooner rather than later and After losing the club captaincy to Bruno Fernandes ahead of the 2023-24 season, alot of speculation about his future has dominated the headlines.

United have already cut their cloth at centre-back by releasing Raphael Varane, and it is quite probable that Maguire will follow him out. Talks over a new contract for Jonny Evans continue.

Dwight Yorke recently advised Harry Maguire to leave Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

Speaking to OLBG, Yorke said: “Harry Maguire might see it differently and he’s entitled to, but I think him leaving Man United is a no-brainer.

‘His respect in the changing room would have diminished. Maguire would be a good fit for Aston Villa. Aston Villa is a big club and there is a certain way Unai Emery will want to play and there might be a player he has lined up already that we don’t know about.

‘Maguire should be the option for Aston Villa to look out for.”

There has been some quality players linked with a move to Manchester United – so space will need to be made. Maguire is not the same player he was a few seasons ago and it is easy to see why the Red Devils are open to the idea of letting him leave
