This summer, UK West Ham United intends to make another attempt to sign Manchester United defender Harry Maguire.
That’s according to The Sun, which revealed on its website on Saturday, March 16 that David Moyes is looking for a defender with header skills after finding his team lacks them.
The report further stated that the East London club could be prepared to grant him a two- or three-year contract in exchange for £15–£20 million.
Will Harry Maguire, a Manchester United player, eventually sign for West Ham?
As Moyes tried to shuffle his team ahead of the new campaign, it appeared that the Hammers were on the verge of signing the central defender in the summer.
Nevertheless, the centre-defender stayed at Old Trafford, eager to continue competing for manager Erik Ten Hag’s starting spot.
However, that hasn’t been the case, as Maguire hasn’t played a regular role for Manchester United this year. He is still a member of Gareth Southgate’s England team despite this.
The Three Lions manager has chosen the defender for this month’s international friendly against Brazil and Belgium.
But if the dearth of playing time at the club level persists, perhaps his long-term future as an international player is in jeopardy.
Maguire has occasionally played under Ten Hag this season, but he will undoubtedly fall the rankings the following year at Old Trafford due to an anticipated transfer window shakeup, where the manager is believed to prioritise finding a new centre-back.
