“I don’t care about the amount the club is going to be losing but he needs to leave. He is not part of the plans for the club” – A decision has been made: Erik ten Hag wants a Manchester United player to depart, and the transfer is expected to result in a significant financial loss for the club.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has reportedly decided that Harry Maguire is not part of his future plans, and the defender could be allowed to leave for a reduced fee in the upcoming January transfer window.

Despite being one of United’s most costly signings when he arrived from Leicester City in 2019, Maguire has struggled to meet expectations at Old Trafford. According to the Daily Star, he could be available for as little as £10 million this winter.

With significant investments made in other central defenders like Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, and Leny Yoro under Ten Hag, there is limited space for Maguire in the squad.

The England international appears to have fallen short of the required standard, making it a sensible move for United to consider offloading him soon, even though selling him for just £10 million would mean a substantial loss compared to his original transfer fee from Leicester.

The Daily Star report indicates that while West Ham previously showed interest in Harry Maguire, no specific clubs are currently being linked with a move for the Manchester United defender, which could make it challenging for the club to find a buyer.

Maguire might still be a valuable addition for several mid-table or lower Premier League teams, but his time at United hasn’t exactly enhanced his reputation.
