Maguire refuses to leave Man Utd

Sources close to Maguire told Sky Sports on the evening of August 15: "Harry respects West Ham and David Moyes, but wants to make it clear that there is no agreement between him and West Ham. The deal is not progressing as reported. even gave. Harry never spoke to David Moyes."

Last week, West Ham offered to pay $38 million for Maguire and was approved by Man Utd. This deal is said to bring benefits to many parties. Despite spending a record $ 97 million to recruit Maguire in 2019, Man Utd needs to liquidate the English midfielder because it is no longer in Erik Ten Hag's plan.

As for Maguire, leaving Old Trafford will help him play more, thereby regaining his form. Currently, Maguire is still the first choice of coach Gareth Southgate in England. However, this deal is likely to collapse because Maguire and West Ham cannot find a common voice. If the 30-year-old midfielder is slow to leave, Man Utd will have little time to find a replacement.

"Harry still feels comfortable at Man Utd. He loves the club and believes he will have many opportunities to play this season," the source revealed.

France defender who plays for Bayern Benjamin Pavard is considered the number one option to replace Maguire's position. Man Utd are in talks to recruit the 27-year-old player. However, they will need money from the sale of Maguire to avoid breaking financial fair play laws.

Man Utd also pursues a few other defenders, notably the central defender of the Ligue 1 club Nice Jean-Clair Todibo. However, to trigger any deal, Man Utd first need players like Maguire to leave.

Before the 1-0 win over Wolves on August 14, Ten Hag commented on Maguire's situation: "He needs to fight to win a place. Maguire has the potential to become a top central defender and he is the number one. one in England so why can't Maguire contribute to Man Utd?However, he needs to prove his ability.If not confident enough to fight, go. Maguire needs to choose. Either way, me. also support him."
