Man United are willing to listen to offers to sell Harry Maguire, according to the latest information.
Erik ten Hag has now been in the job for almost half a season. The Dutchman will know the strengths and weaknesses of this squad.
Slowly but surely, Ten Hag will sell and buy players, with the end game of having a dressing room that fully suits his style of play.
One story that came out yesterday will certainly have some United fans feeling pretty pleased this morning; a potential Harry Maguire sale.
It’s The Guardian with the scoop, who claim United will ‘consider offers’ for the first-team star next summer. Ten Hag is apparently intent on selling his club captain as part of the overhaul, though the Reds accept they’ll take a hit on the £80m they paid to bring in the Englishman under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
It goes without saying, Maguire is no longer the first name on the team-sheet, with Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane considered the first-choice central defensive pairing. When you’re club captain, it’s like an unwritten rule you’ll start most games when fit…
That leaves Ten Hag with a decision to either change his captain, or sell his captain. It seems as though he’s settled on the latter.
Ten Hag admires Maguire’s professionalism according to the report, though the boss considers a lack of pace a problem for this system he wants to deploy at Old Trafford.
With a contract until potentially 2026, United will look to get some sort of transfer fee back for Maguire – though I couldn’t even give you a ballpark figure in terms of price.
Maguire has been becoming more and more unpopular with the fans as time has gone on due to poor performances. No doubt this news will go down well in most quarters of the fanbase.
Fred is another whose head is currently on the chopping block, with the club set to release him for free next summer.
