Manchester United defender Harry Maguire deal to West Ham United is currently off. The Hammers agreed to a £30 million transfer fee with Manchester United to bring the English international to the London Stadium.
West Ham are already tired of waiting for Maguire to finalize his exit from Manchester United, with the former Leicester City defender demanding a payoff of £15 million to leave Old Trafford.
The London club was interested in offering Maguire game time ahead of England 2024 after he fell down the pecking order, making just eight starts in the Premier League last season, with Erik Ten Hag preferring to start Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.
Erik Ten Hag has always stated that Maguire is an important player in the Manchester United squad, and he wants him to fight for his place at the club.
Although Ten Hag warned Maguire saying ”if he was not ready to fight for his place, he should consider leaving.”
The defender was dropped out of the squad last season after his poor performance against Brentford, and he was also stripped of the captaincy, with Bruno Fernandes becoming the new captain of the club.
Against Wolves, the manager also went for Martinez and Varane; When Martinez was substituted in the second half, instead of considering bringing on Harry Maguire, the manager brought in Victor Lindelof.
It was reported that Manchester United would have considered signing either Benjamin Pavard or Jean-Clair Todibo if Maguire had joined West Ham.
Although signing any of the two defenders is out of the question. In the past few years, Harry Maguire has faced a lot of criticism, including a bomb threat from the fans.
Despite not becoming an integral part of the squad, he remains a key player in the England squad. In the previous 11 matches, Harry Maguire had started all for the Three Lions of England.
If he does not move to another club, his position in the England squad is under threat this season, with Levi Colwill and Marc Guehi likely to start ahead of him.
