As they are set to lose Harry Maguire, who is on the verge of joining West Ham, Manchester United has already begun the search for his replacement. And the Red Devils have their sights on Burkinabé defender Edmond Tapsoba.
Is Harry Maguire in his final month at Manchester United? Often criticized for his inconsistent performances, the former captain of the Red Devils is being pushed towards an exit this summer. According to the latest information from Sky Sport, Manchester United’s management has reached an agreement with West Ham for the transfer of the English international by the end of the summer transfer window. West Ham will pay 30 million euros to secure the services of the former Leicester player, acquired at a premium price in 2019.
Already, the London club has initiated the search for Maguire’s replacement. The English team has targeted Edmond Tapsoba to fill this vacant position. According to Manchester Evening, Manchester United aims to invest in the Burkinabé defender from Bayer Leverkusen, whose contract expires in 2024. At the age of 24, Tapsoba had a successful season with the German club, and his profile greatly interests Erik ten Hag.
However, Manchester United has not yet initiated discussions with either Bayer Leverkusen or the Burkinabé defender. It’s worth noting that Man Utd is also exploring other options, including French players Benjamin Pavard and Jean Clair Todibo, according to Fabrizio Romano.
