West Ham's 'low bid' for Harry Maguire rejected by Manchester United
Harry Maguire of Manchester United Jan 2023
West Ham are not expected to pursue Manchester United defender Harry Maguire further. Their initial bid of £20 million was rejected.
West Ham are unlikely to go back in for Manchester United defender Harry Maguire after seeing a £20 million bid knocked back, according to media reports.
The Old Trafford giants made the England international the most expensive defender in history when bringing him in from Leicester for £80 million in 2019.
Maguire was swiftly handed the captain's armband, but a lack of form and game time led Erik ten Hag to this month name Bruno Fernandes as United's new skipper.
Numerous clubs have been linked with a summer move for the out-of-favour defender and West Ham have seen a £20m bid for the 30-year-old rejected.
Reports suggest the Europa Conference League winners are unlikely to make another move for him after seeing that bid rebuffed.
Maguire has dropped down the pecking order at United under Ten Hag, yet sources indicate he is still seen as a valuable part of the squad and stressed they are not forcing him out.
The defender has remained a key member of the England squad, despite enduring a poor 2022/23 campaign, but his place could come under threat if things do not improve before Euro 2024.
