On the last day of the summer transfer window, Manchester United centre-back Maguire and his agent team changed their attitude and were willing to consider leaving the team on loan. However, the club refused to loan him out. Now the 30-year-old England international is likely to stay. in the team.
West Ham have signed new centre-back Konstantinos Mavropanos but David Moyes remains keen on Harry Maguire. Previously, their 30 million pound purchase from Manchester United had been accepted. Unfortunately, the player could not reach an agreement with Manchester United on the compensation amount, so the transfer could not be advanced.
British Sky Sports reported that there are still negotiations on the transfer, and Maguire's demand for huge compensation of 15 million pounds is the crux of the matter. Maguire still has a two-year contract with Manchester United, worth a total of 19.7 million pounds. The club only pays 6 million in compensation. He does not think this amount is enough.
The permanent transfer was blocked, and West Ham wanted to change to a loan, but was rejected by Manchester United. Fabrizio Romano said: "There is a possibility of Maguire moving at the last minute. According to what I have heard in the past 24 to 48 hours, Maguire is willing to leave Manchester United on loan. This is the new plan. Not something they considered in June and July. But now Maguire is willing to go out on loan. Now the problem is with Manchester United because if they loan Maguire, they have to find a replacement in 4 or 5 days, maybe It is also on loan. It is not easy at all, so Manchester United does not agree to loan Maguire."
British media confirmed that Manchester United also rejected Everton's plan to rent Maguire. The club only wanted to sell him completely, so they only listened to permanent transfer offers. Not only that, but Everton has lost three games in a row at the beginning of the new season and will definitely fight for relegation. Maguire also disdains joining Sean Dyche's team.
Under the premise that Maguire stays with the team, Manchester United will not introduce a new central defender. The only possible addition is Evans, a free agent who trained with the team this summer. The Northern Ireland centre-half, 35, does not have to sign until September 1, as free players have a longer transfer window.
In this way, Ten Hag's next signings can only happen in the goalkeeper, left back and midfielder. Among them, there is no suspense about the new substitute goalkeeper Altay Baindir joining for 4.3 million pounds. When Dean Henderson's 20 million pounds transfer to Crystal Palace is completed, the 25-year-old Turkish national goalkeeper will sign.
His Fenerbahce team-mate and former Manchester United player Fred confirmed the move. Fred said: "When Altay (Baindir) leaves, I wish him good luck. He will join a great team. Altay will be very happy at Manchester United."
But in the other two positions, Manchester United still seems to be undecided, and new candidates continue to emerge. With Luke Shaw likely out for two months with a muscle strain, Ten Hag signs new full-back after Chelsea's Cucurella, Tottenham's Reguilon, Barcelona's Marcos Alonso and free agents Candidates such as Bertrand, now, Brentford's Rico Henry (Rico Henry) and Leicester City's Luke Thomas (Luke Thomas) are both new protagonists.
"캡토토" said that Manchester United initially asked Brentford whether to sell the 26-year-old full-back. But his contract with Brentford runs until 2026 and the price will not be cheap. The 22-year-old Thomas has fallen out of favor in Leicester City and has not played so far this season. Leeds United also intends to introduce him.
Manchester United's plan to strengthen the midfield is equally confusing. Amrabat, who was first associated with Manchester United, has been waiting for more than two months. It was once rumored this week that Bayern Munich is willing to send Grafenberg in exchange for McTominay, who is on loan at Manchester United. But the British "Daily Telegraph" stated that the Bundesliga giants are not keen on introducing McTominay, and Tuchel gave priority to buying defender Chalobah from Chelsea.
According to the Manchester Evening News, United are still weighing options and the latest to enter the shortlist is Tottenham midfielder Højbjerg. Højbjerg is a player signed by Mourinho for 20 million pounds three years ago. Coach Postkoglu does not value him and is willing to sell him.
Previously, Højbjerg had a chance to transfer to Atletico Madrid, but the negotiations between the two parties broke down. Saudi Arabia also wants to bring in, but 28-year-old Højbjerg wants to stay in Europe, and Manchester United has his compatriots Eriksen and Hojlund.
No matter which new aid Manchester United will eventually sign, it may have to wait until the last day of the summer window is completed, and fans will have to be patient.
