BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United and a Premier League rival are allegedly nearing completion on a comprehensive trade agreement that includes Harry Maguire, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Manchester United will have another chance to move center-back Harry Maguire out in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Despite earlier doubts and speculations about a potential transfer to West Ham in the summer, Maguire has dramatically improved his play recently and established himself as one of Erik ten Hag’s most reliable players.

Compared to last summer, when Maguire’s form was patchy, things are very different now.

Although Maguire has not expressed a desire to leave Old Trafford, recent rumors indicate that Manchester United may be exploring the possibility of trading Maguire and providing money in return for Lucas Paqueta of West Ham.

Some might initially contend that Manchester United would be receiving a far better offer.

It’s crucial to remember, though, that Paqueta has previously expressed a desire to leave East London, particularly following the collapse of a planned transfer to Manchester City.

That being said, West Ham might not think it was a bad deal to get a healthy Maguire in exchange for a sizeable payment.

The rest of the season’s performances for both clubs and the offers made to the players in question are predicted to have a major impact on the result.

It appears that Manchester City is giving up on the Brazilian player, which could open the door for their main competitors to submit their own bid.
