Erik ten Hag wants out of favour Manchester United star to stay amid links to rival PL clubs - Reports
According to talkSPORT host Sam Matterface, Erik ten Hag wants Harry Maguire to stay at Manchester United despite the player being linked with a move to rival Premier League clubs like West Ham United.
Maguire recently wrote on social media that he has been stripped of the club's captaincy, and Bruno Fernandes has since been named the new captain of the team. The recent turn of events has sparked rumors about Maguire's future.
Matterface, however, said that Ten Hag wants Maguire to stay, as he said (via talkSPORT):

He further said:
Chelsea, West Ham United, and Newcastle United have been touted as potential destinations for Maguire if he leaves the Old Trafford club.
Harry Maguire joined Manchester United from Leicester City for a world record fee of £80 million in 2019. He has made 175 appearances for the Old Trafford club so far.
The Englishman has been the club's captain as well. At one point, Maguire was an undisputed starter along with Victor Lindelof at the heart of the Red Devils' defense.
Maguire, however, has lost that position as Ten Hag prefers the duo of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane as his first-choice central defense pairing.
Maguire will need to fight for his place in a bid to get regular game time.
