Be interesting to see if now West Ham have sold Rice if their purported interest in Maguire and/ or McTominay come to anything. Fingers crossed ?.

Ten Hag is clearly doing what he can to get rid of Maguire. Dropped him to 5th choice CB, taken the captaincy off him. He needs to leave for the good of himself and the club.

I wonder whether Maguire receives some interest from abroad as the window goes on. He needs to decide what he wants from the remainder of his career, he could be stubborn and see out his contract (still has 2 years to go) and accept he will not be first choice or maybe even first change. and he has every right to do that even if we do not want him to.
I think there will be an agreement for him to seek a transfer with the best team for him, I think it was mentioned that we may have to either pay up some of his salary to help or take less on sale price. Unfortunately may be something we have to face if it helps the sale.

Maguire needs to play in a side who play at a slow pace (Inter, Juventus, Milan etc. ), or a side who play deep and with three at the back (West Ham, Everton) .

My money is on him playing for one of those 5 sides come September 1st.

Everton won’t have the cash for Maguire so can’t be them, but you’re right he’d be excellent in Italy (and Saudi if he fancies the $$$) .

think it needs southgate to give him the final nudge by telling him if he isn't playing for UTD he can't play for England, he did for a while but not doing it now going forward.

Shouldn't need to tell him. It is a whole season until next tournament. Harry should see that coming himself. And to be fair, I'm sure he does.

BfB,

I agree with you, Southgate should have dropped him. Instead, along with Philips, they have become undroppable despite their lack of game time.

Am I the only one that feels Maguire is getting a really unfair Schtick here? Yes he’s slow by modern CB standards but no way is he Everton standard. I feel the Liverpool and Leeds fans have led the ridicule and it’s stuck. Out of all the bang average not quite there players we have, surely he’s not such a panic sell?

Spikey, its not just you. Maguire hasn't worked out and he was overpriced, but people make out he's a donkey which visit ridiculous. Even when he had a solid game people would find one dodgy moment to reinforce their negative view.

He needs to go but the negative pile on is a little distasteful.

Maguire is Spursy
McT is West Ham material.

Maybe if they fancy Martial and Elanga too we'll throw in a free set of crutches for Martial?

I agree Spikey, I don't think any one is under any illusion that he's good enough to play in a top level team. Any team that wants to play with a high line and on the front foot is going to highlight his deficiencies. However, the juvenile banter around him paints the picture of someone who be better plying his trade in non-league, as opposed to a guy who could do a decent job at a club like West Ham. People are quick to forget how important he was during his first season for us, and the concern generated when he was going to miss the Europa League final vs Villareal. Leave the 'banter' for the brainless twitter lot.

I think Maguire never xame back to Utd the same player after the Greece debacle, and then the constant criticism from media, fans (our own included) along with ridiculous videos/ memes have crushed the Maguire we signed.

For me he needs to go, get out of that limelight amd show what he is capable if, why Utd signed him and the player he still seems to be for England. Good luck to him whereever he goes, it just didn't work out.

United have outgrown him, but he will make a great CB for some team. Afterall, he was named in the official Euros team of the tournament and Sky Sports team of the World Cup …So that’s not the donkey everyone seems to be saying he is. Good luck to him wherever he goes I say.

Maguire was just a very very bad purchase given who we could have signed. When you come in with his price tag, you are always going to be under the spotlight. Woodward and the rest of the people who sanctioned the deal are the real donkeys in all of this and not Maguire.

I agree with the people above suggesting he goes abroad for his career, if that’s something him and his family would be open to, who knows. I think a team like Roma or Atletico Madrid would really suit his game. In a low block counter team he’s got all the attributes you need. He’s a very good player, he just doesn’t suit a high back line.

I think lots of teams would be interested in Maguire but his wages are the issue. Generally the case with most of the players we are trying to move and must be a factor in the fees we get.

Given our FFP situation I am making an assumption the club wants to avoid taking losses on the unamortized portion of players cost that's sitting on our books and he is the toughest one to solve for.

Maguire was never helped by De Gea staying on his line so much as he didn't have the speed to cover inevitable gap De Gea left.

Thus, ironically, Maguire might be a beneficiary of Onana's sweeper-keeper style, and even thrive if given the chance.
