Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in Manchester United outcast Harry Maguire in an audacious strategy to keep embattled striker Harry Kane.

Maguire’s future at Old Trafford remains uncertain, and it has been reported that Erik Ten Hag is open to selling the Englishman in the summer.

While Maguire is not necessarily pushing to leave Old Trafford, he is keeping an open mind just in case a plausible suitor comes along in the summer.

And this may end up being Tottenham Hotspur, who finished in 8th place in the league last season.

According to The Telegraph, Spurs are monitoring Harry Maguire’s situation, and could make a move for the centre back, with the arrival of former Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou now likely to accelerate transfers.

Postecoglou was confirmed as the new Tottenham boss on Tuesday, June 6, signing a four year deal with the club.

Reports further claim Tottenham’s move for Maguire will come with secondary benefits, as it might convince the club’s all-time goal scorer Harry Kane to stay in North London.

Kane is another player whose future is uncertain, with Manchester United and Real Madrid also eyeing up a move for the striker.

Maguire’s uncertainty at Man United

As per Transfermkt, Maguire only featured 16 times for Manchester United in the just-concluded campaign.

This is a far cry for a player who was once United’s captain, and the lack of game time at Old Trafford is likely to lead to trigger the defender to ponder his future at the club.

Erik Ten Hag admitted Maguire had a lot to think about, while England manager Gareth Southgate recently expressed concern over Maguire’s limited football at club level.

At Tottenham, Maguire is almost guaranteed a starting place as the club is currently undergoing a revamp under the new boss.
