  • Manchester United and West Ham have an agreement in principle for the transfer of Harry Maguire
  • Erik ten Hag finally succeeded in ending the defender's time at Old Trafford
  • Maguire served up some hilarious moments at the club after his world-record move in 2019

Harry Maguire's time at Manchester United appears to be over after an agreement was reached in principle for his transfer to West Ham.

Maguire has endured a frustrating time at United since the arrival of Erik ten Hag last summer. He spent the majority of last season on the bench, down the pecking order behind Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, and Victor Lindelof. However, he never failed to entertain fans.

The Dutch tactician stripped him of the captaincy ahead of the new season and replaced him with Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese wore the armband for most of last season.

The former Leicester City defender will now leave Old Trafford if he can find an agreement on personal terms with the East London club, bringing an end to his four-year stint in Manchester.

Maguire's meme-worthy moments

The 30-year-old started with displays that made headlines on a weekly basis. The news of his agreement to depart left rivals joking that United are letting go of a club legend.

As compiled by Troll Football, the former Sheffield United defender has given football fans some hilarious moments both with the club and the national team.

From scoring own goals, to misplaced passes, to taking out his teammates with tackles, to giving assists to opponents to score, he did it all.

He had two ridiculous moments of injuring his teammates - the headbutt on Cristiano Ronaldo and the kick to the back of Pogba's head.

According to The Athletic, the fee for his transfer will be £30m as the UEFA Europa Conference League winners work to find an agreement on his salary, as he was on close to £200,000 per week with the Red Devils.

Maguire's 7 memorable moments

Aside from comic moments, Maguire had memorable times at Manchester United. Sports Brief analyses seven of those moments.

Two that stand out and the player won't forget in a hurry are being the world's most expensive defender and having the honour of captaining one of England's biggest clubs.
