Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United are set to take a £50million hit on Harry Maguire – as the England international prepares to join their Premier League rivals West Ham
Harry Maguire’s proposed £30million move to West Ham is being held up over his pay-off from Manchester United.
Maguire, 30, is expected to join the Hammers in the coming days after starting just eight Premier League games last season. The Englishman has fallen behind Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof in the pecking order at United.
Erik ten Hag has told Maguire “to make a decision” if he’s not willing to fight for his place at Old Trafford. The centre-back needs to play regular football to guarantee a spot in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for next year’s Euros in Germany.
Ten Hag will drop a huge clue on Maguire’s future when he names his first Premier League squad of the season, as United take on Wolves at home on Monday evening. “Of course,” said the Dutchman when asked whether Maguire is available for selection.
