An industrial accident. Recruited for €87 million in 2019, making him the most expensive defender in history, Harry Maguire is deadlocked at Manchester United. Target of various criticism and mockery on social networks and in English stadiums, the 30-year-old centre-back is now only a luxury substitute under Erik ten Hag. Raphaël Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof are all in front of him in the mind of the Dutch technician, even Luke Shaw. Thus, the Red Devils would like to part with it this summer. Except that with an estimated salary of £190,000 per week (€221,000), the English international (55 caps, 7 goals) is struggling to find a taker.
According to the Mail, MU management had the following idea: pay a check for $ 10 million (about € 10.64 million) to Maguire to compensate for the shortfall. Clearly, a kind of severance package or... A parting gift, it depends. Under contract until 2025, the former Leicester rock has made 31 appearances this season in all competitions, but only 16 as a starter. In total, he appeared 175 times in the Mancunian jersey (7 goals). He previously played for Sheffield United, Leicester, Hull and Wigan.
