Manchester United are ready to sell 29-year-old English centre-back Harry Maguire ahead of next season.
According to a report by Football Insider, Manchester United are ready to sell their skipper Harry Maguire ahead of next season. The 29-year-old has fallen down the pecking order since the arrival of new boss Erik ten Hag. And, Maguire is likely to be offloaded in the summer.
Erik ten Hag has changed the fortunes of Manchester United in the short time that he has been here. The Dutch tactician has already won a trophy at Manchester United. And, they are still on the hunt for three more. It has been a great season for the Red Devils, and they have already started planning for the next season.
The Dutch manager is keen on signing a few more players to bolster his squad. He will look to add more quality into this ranks as they look to push for the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League titles next season.
However, the Manchester United board has informed ten Hag that he will have to sell a few players to invest in new players. Manchester United are all set to offload half a dozen players ahead of next season to make room for new ones. Harry Maguire is part of the list of players they are looking to sell.
The Manchester United skipper has fallen down the pecking order in the ongoing season. The arrival of Lisandro Martinez has seen him drop to the bench. Ten Hag prefers starting Martinez alongside Raphael Varane. And, the duo has been doing wonders for the club.
Maguire, who joined Manchester United back in the summer of 2019 from Leicester City, has become surplus to requirements. He is amongst the highest-paid players in the club. As a result, selling him will allow them to spend on adding more firepower.
Meanwhile, West Ham United have expressed their interest in signing the 29-year-old. The London-based club are interested in Harry Maguire, Anthony Martial, and Scott McTominay. David Moyes is keen on having the services of the United trio.
