Manchester United reportedly notified Harry Maguire of the release.
The British Mirror said on the 7th (Korea time) 'Maguire's career at Manchester United was completely over after calls from coach Erik ten Hach and sports director Dan Ashworth. Dan Ashworth, Manchester United's new sports director, reported that Maguire is ready to sell.
McInner made his professional debut for Sheffield United. Sheffield was part of the English League 1 (third division) at the time. Maguire, who immediately became a key player as soon as he made his debut for Sheffield, moved to Hull City, where he was in the English Premier League (EPL) after three seasons of outstanding performance in League One.
Hull City was relegated to the English Championship (second division), but returned to the EPL after a year. Maguire moved to Leicester City after being recognised for his good performance in the season when he returned to the EPL. He also became a key defender at Leicester and was selected for the England national team. With a lot of trust from England manager Gareth Southgate, he also played an active role in the 2018 FIFA Russia World Cup.
Since then, Manchester United has been interested in Maguire. Manchester United, which desperately needed to recruit a center back, paid the most expensive defender transfer fee in football history to recruit Maguire. With a huge investment of 87 million euros (about W129.8 billion), Manchester United suffered a great deal of ridicule.
It is true that Maguire is a good defender, but he was not a world-class player and a defender with obvious shortcomings. Despite the mockery and finger pointing, Maguire played well as he became a key defender upon his move to Manchester United.
Maguire has been a key player for Manchester United for two seasons, but he began to be severely sluggish even before Ten Hag took over. Since then, the level of ridicule has risen very high. Numerous fans teased Maguire, and even some Manchester United fans turned to Maguire.
As the player was reduced to ridicule due to his poor performance, coach Ten Hag recommended Maguire to return the captain's armband. Even though he was a hawk, he accepted the coach's will. He was strongly connected to West Ham ahead of last season, but the transfer was not made. During the 2023-2024 season, he played as a rotation member.
United are currently very confident in signing Matthijs de Ligt. With rumors of additional center backs being recruited, it is necessary to make room for them. He is trying to clean up Maguire, who is a high-payer and has only one year left on his contract. This is because it needs to be sold this summer to collect the profits of the transfer fee.
