Manchester United have told Harry Maguire he will not be leaving the club during the transfer window barring a late change of mind by the Old Trafford hierarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Erik ten Hag had recommended to United\u2019s football director, John Murtough, that Maguire should be sold, with West Ham appearing the centre-back\u2019s most likely destination. A \u00a330m deal appeared set to go through a fortnight ago only to break down due to Maguire\u2019s demand for a \u00a37m payoff to make up the shortfall in salary he would have lost by taking a reduced wage in east London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Ten Hag needing to find a replacement should Maguire leave in the final few days of the window, time is increasingly against him doing so, and especially so to West Ham following to pay 9m pounds purchase of the Greek central defender Konstantinos Mavropanos from Stuttgart last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maguire joined United from Leicester for a world-record 80m fee in August 2019 and has endured an increasingly torrid time at Old Trafford, culminating with him being stripped of the captaincy last month. He is yet to feature for Ten Hag\u2019s side so far this season, though was on the bench for Saturday\u2019s 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest. His value to the Dutchman has increased, however, given the injury Rapha\u00ebl Varane sustained against Forest. United are awaiting scans to understand the severity of the Frenchman\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
United are continuing to explore the possibility of signing a left back before Friday\u2019s deadline as cover for the injured Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. Chelsea\u2019s Marc Cucurella, Tottenham\u2019s Sergio Reguil\u00f3n and Barcelona\u2019s Marcos Alonso are on Ten Hag\u2019s list of targets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
