(Football news) Last year, Maguire was strongly connected to the Hammers; however, the former Sheffield United young player turned down the opportunity to join the London Stadium in order to compete for a starting position at Old Trafford.
This season, the 31-year-old has won back Man United head coach Erik ten Hag’s confidence by making 23 appearances across all competitions, including 16 in the Premier League. However, he has struggled with his fitness, missing five league games due to a groin injury earlier in the campaign.
Due to an undisclosed problem, Maguire has not been available since the match against Fulham on February 24. However, on Sunday afternoon against Liverpool, he is anticipated to be included in the squad.
Even if he has improved this season, questions about his future still exist because Man United is anticipated to add at least one new center back this summer. While there is a chance to extend the deal for an additional year until June 2026, Maguire’s time at Old Trafford is limited to just over a year.
According to the article, Moyes believes the former captain of Manchester United would be the ideal addition since he is keen to bring in an aerially dominant center defense. Maguire would probably have to take a significant salary cut in order to join the Hammers, even if it is reported that they would be willing to spend between £15 million and £20 million for him.
