Man United ‘give Harry Maguire £6million pay off’ to join West Ham as defender faces wage cut
Harry Maguire has been given a hefty pay off from Manchester United to leave the club.
The Red Devils agreed a £30million fee with the Hammers for Magurie on Wednesday, with David Moyes set to bring in the defender who has been on his radar for a decade.
The Hammers originally saw a £20m offer knocked back by the Red Devils last month for the England international.
But the east London club are now confident of bringing him to the London Stadium.
Now, according to The Sun, Man United have given their former captain a £6m pay off to send him on his way.
The 30-year-old has two years on his current contract that sees him earn £190,000 a week.
But the England defender will be taking a wage cut of £70,000 pay cut should he sign for the Hammers, dropping to £120,000.
Maguire became the world's most expensive defender when he signed for Man United, with Leicester receiving a whopping £80m.
But last season he dropped down Erik ten Hag's pecking order, and also had the captaincy taken off him in the summer, with the Man United boss giving the armband to Bruno Fernandes instead.
Maguire has made 175 appearances for Man United since signing in 2019, winning the Carabao Cup with them last season.
Meanwhile, West Ham have finally made their first signing of the summer, bringing in Edson Alvarez from Ajax.
