According to media sources, West Ham are unlikely to re-enter the race for Manchester United defender Harry Maguire after having a £20 million deal turned down.
West Ham are unlikely to pursue Manchester United defender Harry Maguire any further. Their initial approach of £20 million was turned down.
Manchester United rejected West Ham’s ‘poor proposal’ for Harry Maguire.
When United paid £80 million to sign the England international from Leicester in 2019, he became the most expensive defender in history. Manchester United rejected West Ham’s ‘poor proposal’ for Harry Maguire.
Maguire was quickly appointed captain, but a lack of form and game time forced Erik ten Hag to choose Bruno Fernandes as United’s new captain this month.
Several teams have been linked with a summer move for the out-of-favour defender, and West Ham have had a £20 million deal rejected for the 30-year-old.
According to reports, the Europa Conference League winners are unlikely to make another proposal for him after their previous bid was rejected.
Under Ten Hag, Maguire has fallen down the pecking order at United, but insiders say he is still a valued member of the squad and that they are not driving him out.
Despite a terrible 2022/23 season, the defender has remained a key member of England’s team, although his position could be jeopardized if things do not improve before Euro 2024.
