<h2><strong>Maguire’s rise at United</strong></h2>

<p>Still, the world’s most expensive defender, Maguire was signed by then-United manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer in 2019 and quickly became absorbed into the environment at Old Trafford. His impressive stint in leading England to the 2018 World Cup semifinal also saw him earn plenty of applause from the fans. He became a key figure for the club and was handed the captain’s armband after the departure of Ashley Young to Inter Milan in 2020. In the 2019-20 Premier League season, he played every minute of the season that saw him become the first outfield player to do so for United since 1995.</p>

<h2><strong>Maguire’s fall</strong></h2>

<p>The England defender's stock started taking a stumble after the 2021-22 season where he lost positions on multiple occasions while also attracting fans' criticism. The 30-year-old became prone to errors and media criticism that saw him become the centre of attraction. Despite being one of the first names on the team sheet, Maguire was not fancied in the post-Solskjaer era.</p>

<p>In a brief spell at the club, Maguire played in 118 Premier League matches, scoring four goals with 175 total appearances for the Red Devils.</p>

<h2><strong>What next for Harry?</strong></h2>

<p>As things stand, United are waiting for an official bid from West Ham with the player already agreeing a move away from the club. United are also believed to be happy with the valuation and will respond as soon as they get the approach. The deal will also clear a position in the team for a home-grown player as United can register another player in his place before the season begins.</p>
