Manchester United has encountered significant challenges this Premier League season, especially in their defensive lineup, where injuries have taken a toll.
Surprisingly, Harry Maguire found himself thrust into a prominent role early in the campaign to bolster Erik ten Hag’s defensive strategy, despite the club’s prior attempts to offload him during the summer transfer window.
Maguire’s potential departure was almost imminent, but reports suggest he opted to stay put at the club, a decision that didn’t sit well with certain sections of the fanbase.
As the summer transfer window approaches, speculation has resurfaced regarding Maguire’s future, with rumors swirling about a potential move to West Ham.
According to sources cited by the Sun, West Ham is poised to launch a £15 million bid for the English defender, reigniting their interest after a failed attempt last year.
Given that Maguire’s contract is set to expire in a year, Manchester United might consider cashing in on him now while there’s still an opportunity.
David Moyes’ team finds themselves just four points behind Manchester United in the Premier League standings, heightening the significance of their potential acquisition of Maguire as they gear up to face Aston Villa in their next fixture.
Manchester United is slated to clash with arch-rivals Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals at Old Trafford, adding further intrigue to Maguire’s situation amidst the backdrop of ongoing transfer rumors.
