• Harry Maguire is set to depart Manchester United this summer after three years at the club
• West Ham are understood to have an agreement with United over the transfer of the defender
• Maguire's imminent United exit will bring to a close his tumultuous spell with the Red Devils

Harry Maguire looks set to bring to a close his tumultuous spell with Manchester United this summer.

The England international's future with United was plunged into uncertainty after he fell out of favour under Erik ten Hag.

Ten Hag has appeared to prefer the partnership of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez in the heart of his defence, leaving Maguire warming the bench.

However, the former United skipper now looks set to end his Old Trafford nightmare, with West Ham on course to sign him this summer.

According to Sky Sports, the Hammers have an agreement in principle with the Red Devils to sign the embattled defender in a deal worth around £30m.

Sports Brief now takes a look at Maguire's top seven most memorable moments during his troubled Old Trafford spell.

7. Maguire becomes most expensive defender

Manchester United signed Maguire in the summer of 2019 from Leicester City in a deal worth £80 million.

According to BBC, the fee paid by United saw the centre-back become the world's most expensive defender.

6. Maguire named Man United captain

Maguire was made Man United captain barely four months after he had joined the Red Devils.

At the time, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer handed the Englishman the armband to replace Ashley Young, who was on the verge of joining Inter Milan.

5. Maguire's Greece arrest

Maguire's woes at United happened both on and off the pitch.

The defender was not short of controversy during his stint with the Manchester club, having been arrested at one point.

The Guardian reports that the centre-back landed himself in trouble while on holiday in Greece after he allegedly hit a police officer.

He was later arrested following an altercation in Mykonos.

4. Sevilla clumsiness

It is no doubt that Maguire often found himself on the receiving end of criticism while on the pitch.

It was his woeful performance against Sevilla in the Europa League last season that he is likely to be remembered the most for.

At the time, he was caught on camera calling for the ball moments before his calamitous error gifted Sevilla the lead in the quarter-final second-leg tie.

David de Gea had initially been blamed for the goal, but supporters shifted the blame back onto Maguire after noticing his blatant gesture.

3. Onana-Maguire altercation

Recently, Maguire's struggles came to the fore once again after he was involved in a sticky moment with summer arrival Andre Onana during a pre-season game.

Onana was spotted screaming at Maguire at one point during the United match that pitted them against Borussia Dortmund.

The Cameroonian goalkeeper was disappointed with his side's backline opening up far too easily.

2. Dan Gore moment

Maguire's Man United hit a new low a few days ago after he got 'scolded' by academy star Dan Gore.

Gore, who is 12 years younger than the England international, appeared to have a word with the centre-back for failing to react properly to a pass in the first half.

The incident got fans talking on social media, with some making fun of the deposed skipper.

1. Stripped of captaincy

And finally on this list is Maguire's axing as the Man United captain.

Ten Hag made the ruthless decision during the pre-season campaign in what was the biggest hint that Maguire would be sold.

The Dutchman went on to replace the Englishman with Bruno Fernandes.
