  • Harry Maguire has spectacularly fallen out of favour under Erik Ten Hag
  • The 29-year old, who is a star in the England squad, has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford
  • West Ham is the latest club to be linked with Maguire’s services
  • David Moyes’ side is in dire need of defensive reinforcements to help in their battle away from relegation

West Ham are flirting with the idea of acquiring Harry Maguire on loan from Manchester United.

The Hammers have been forced to explore their defensive options after Wolverhampton’s pursuit of their centre-back Craig Dawson.

As of January 18, Maguire lost his place in Manchester United’s starting XI, with Erik Ten Hag preferring the likes of Luke Shaw and Raphael Varane at the heart of defence.

Taking United’s entire squad into account, Maguire is currently the fourth-choice centre-back.

West Ham will have to shop quickly for Dawson’s replacement, after initially turning down Wolves’ first bid for the 32-year old, who would not mind a return to the Midlands having previously played for West Brom.

According to The Mirror, the Hammers are only considering a loan deal for Maguire, who is one of many top defenders on the shortlist.

Does Maguire have a future at United

Maguire became the world’s most expensive defender when United signed him from Leicester City for £80million in 2019.

However, his spell as a Red Devil has been anything but ideal as a series of individual mistakes on the pitch has led to fans consistently criticizing his performances.

Oddly enough, he remains an integral part of Gareth Southgate’s England squad, and featured heavily at the Qatar World Cup.

Ten Hag is believed to be open to selling the defender altogether in the summer as he continues to rebuild the Manchester United squad.

Maguire has started just once in the four Premier League wins for his side since the World Cup.

Man United missed out on Haaland

Sports Brief also reported on how Manchester United painfully missed out on signing Haaland.

A few years back, Solskjaer was smitten with Haaland’s talents, and he phoned the Man United bosses to possibly make a move for him.

United, however failed to act on the tip, and an insider within FC Molde has come out with interesting details of what went down.
