- West Ham United and Manchester United have reached a £30 million agreement for Harry Maguire.
- Maguire, 30, struggled for first-team opportunities at Old Trafford last season and has been stripped of the captaincy this season.
- He is understood to be keen on the move with personal terms yet to be agreed but not expected to be a problem.
- Maguire joined United in August 2019 for a world record £80m for a defender.
- Last season, Maguire made 30 appearances for United but just eight of them were in the league. He might have fallen to Old Trafford’s fifth-choice central defender, behind Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Rafael Varane, and Victor Lindelof.
- Erik ten Hag stated that Maguire was a “essential player” who could “battle himself into the team” after removing him as captain. But, during a preseason friendly against Borussia Dortmund, the defender received jeers from United supporters and yells from new goalie Andre Onana.
- Despite his struggles at Manchester United, Maguire has been a regular for England under Gareth Southgate, starting all five games at the 2022 World Cup.
