According to information from Sky Sports this Wednesday, Manchester United and West Ham have reached an agreement for the transfer of Harry Maguire. The English defender is therefore on the verge of leaving the Red Devils, after four challenging years.
Recruited in the summer of 2019 from Leicester for a fee of 90 million euros (the highest price for a defender at the time), Harry Maguire was touted to be the new leader of Manchester United’s defense. However, things didn’t go as planned for the English international. Due to poor performances, a careless attitude, and incredible mistakes, the 30-year-old player became the laughingstock of English football.
Being targeted from all sides, Maguire even faced death threats before being stripped of his captain’s armband. But the English player’s nightmare in Manchester is about to come to an end, according to Sky Sports’ information. According to this source, Manchester United and West Ham have agreed on the framework of a transfer estimated at around 35 million euros for Maguire.
The payment terms are still to be defined, as well as the contractual agreement between the Hammers and the player, but Harry Maguire’s tenure at Manchester United is indeed set to come to a close in the upcoming hours or days. And the English international won’t be leaving a fond memory in the minds of the Manchester United supporters.
