West Ham United rekindle Harry Maguire chase

West Ham United are keen on signing 30-year-old Manchester United defender Harry Maguire at the end of the season.

A report from Fichajes has claimed that West Ham United will revive their interest in 30-year-old Manchester United defender Harry Maguire, and they could look to submit an offer for him as well.

The report adds that West Ham could offer around £15-20 million for the experienced defender. Maguire has been overly criticised at Manchester United since joining the club for £80 million from Leicester City. However, he has shown his quality in the Premier League and should prove to be a superb addition for West Ham.

The defender will be hoping to secure regular football next season, and moving to West Ham would be ideal.  Manchester United have been linked with several central defenders recently, and it is fair to assume that Maguire could fall further down the pecking order if he stays at Old Trafford.

Moving away would be ideal for all parties. Manchester United must look to cut their losses on the England international defender and invest in a younger player with higher potential. Recent reports have linked them with many centre-backs, including Jarrad Branthwaite.

Harry Maguire should leave Manchester United

West Ham have been quite vulnerable defensively this season, and they could use Maguire’s physicality, presence and experience at the back. The Manchester United defender will not only add quality as a player, he will bring leadership qualities into the dressing room as well.

A move to West Ham would give him the fresh start he needs right now, and a deal would be ideal for all parties. If West Ham manage to convince Manchester United to sell Harry Maguire for £15-20 million, it could prove to be a solid investment for them and Maguire could even prove to be a bargain at that price.

The Hammers are currently competing in the Europa League, and they managed to win the UEFA Europa Conference league last season. If they manage to secure European football for the next season as well, they will be an attractive destination for quality players.
