Manchester United are prepared to sell experienced defender Harry Maguire on the cheap as they are keen to build without him.
According to the Daily Star, Harry Maguire’s time at Old Trafford could be coming to an end as Manchester United are ready to sell him on the cheap. The experienced defender could leave for as little as £10 million in the next window, as Erik ten Hag wants to build the defence without the £200,000-a-week long-serving player.
Manchester United to sell Harry Maguire?
Many Manchester United fans would argue that Harry Maguire is not good enough for their club. Yet in recent weeks, he has been key to bailing out the team from difficult situations. The experienced defender got the vital equaliser against FC Porto last week when the Red Devils were in a precarious position with ten men.
Either way, Maguire’s future has been a subject of speculation for over a year. The English defender was close to leaving Manchester United to join West Ham United in a £30 million deal. While the transfer failed to materialise, he could go sooner rather than later.
Back in the summer, Manchester United were willing to sell Maguire alongside a few of his defensive colleagues. The defender could have left had the club signed Jarrad Branthwaite in the summer, and also if Leny Yoro had stayed fit since his bog move from LOSC Lille.
Manchester United are open to selling him as they have plans to move away from the defender. Maguire’s current £200,000-a-week deal expires next summer, with the club holding the option to extend it by another season. In any case, they are open to letting the long-serving player leave for as little as £10 million, which, in the context of his big transfer fee and what they could have got last summer, represents a big loss.
Manchester United keen to build with Matthijs de Ligt
Erik ten Hag has not been open to playing with Harry Maguire much since his arrival at the club, although last season, he tended to prefer him more than before. The arrival of Matthijs de Ligt this summer was heavily backed by the manager, who pushed the club to pay a fee of around £50 million for one of his former players.
In the future, de Ligt will be given the keys to this Manchester United defence, as ten Hag wants to provide consistent game time to the Dutch international. With Maguire currently injured, the experienced defender could find himself down in the pecking order once Yoro returns while De Ligt and Lisandro Martinez pick up form.
