London, Oct 13: According to a recent report from The Daily Star, Manchester United seems ready to part ways with Harry Maguire for a substantially reduced fee, signalling a potential end to his mixed stint at Old Trafford.
Originally signing for a world record fee of £80m in 2019, United’s current willingness to accept offers as low as £10m reflects a dramatic downturn in the player’s market value.
This depreciation is attributed to Maguire’s struggle to maintain a stable position in the squad under manager Erik ten Hag. Despite being a regular fixture in previous seasons, the last couple have seen him sidelined due to both strategic decisions and recurring injuries. The decision to strip him of the captaincy last year was a precursor to his diminished role within the squad.
Harry Maguire’s tenure at Manchester United has been marred by consistent injury issues, which have significantly limited his playtime. Last season, he managed only 18 starts in the Premier League due to groin and muscular injuries. His absence was felt not only at club level but also internationally, as he missed out on the European Championships. (AP)
