Transfer Zone: Man United reject Barcelona’s Harry Maguire trade offer, plus Ronaldo birthday wish

Manchester United are desperate for signings, but not desperate enough to part ways with Harry Maguire according to the latest transfer developments.
The Red Devils are yet to make a signing during this summer transfer window, with Erik ten Hag running out of time before the start of the club's pre-season tour.
One player who has been linked with United for an extensive amount of time is Barcelona's star midfielder, Frenkie de Jong.
According to reports, United rejected a request from the La Liga giants to include Harry Maguire in the potential deal.
I don’t know who’s more stupid, Barca asking for Maguire or Man United rejecting the offer for Frenkie De Jong. https://t.co/sU6PnIuNV2

Instead of losing their captain, it appears United will just do what they've always done in transfer negotiations - throw more money at the deal.
Clubs are starting to pick up on Man United's transfer economics. Just keep them at the table, and the fee will increase faster than gas prices.
85mil uno... overpaying... https://t.co/V5u3Qkcc9h
