(Football news) Both Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay are set to be Manchester United squad possibilities next season, so it makes sense for them to move on in pursuit of regular playing time.
Maguire struggled for consistent game time last season, and if the Red Devils recruit a central defender this summer, he is projected to fall lower down the pecking order. Similarly, if Manchester United buy a central midfielder, McTominay may struggle. In recent weeks, they have been associated with players such as Sofyan Amrabat.
Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay are more than capable of playing regularly in the Premier League and could be valuable options for a side like West Ham United.
The Hammers need to strengthen their squad, especially considering that they will compete in the Europa League next season. West Ham United made a combined bid of £60 million for the two players, but Manchester United turned it down. The Red Devils will be hoping for a sizable fee for the two players, and it remains to be seen whether West Ham United are willing to up their offer.
The Hammers recently sanctioned the departure of Declan Rice and they could use someone like McTominay. Although he is a different player in terms of style.
They looked quite vulnerable defensively last season and Maguire would be a quality addition as well. Although the former Leicester City defender has been criticised heavily for his performances at Old Trafford, he has shown in the past that he can be a reliable Premier League defender.
