Manchester United set asking price for Harry Maguire amid rumours of summer transfer: Reports

Currently, the 30-year-old centre-back is contracted with Manchester United till 2025. He joined from Leicester City in the summer of 2019 for a world-record fee for a defender of £80 million.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on his daily updates page, Here We Go Live, that Maguire will have a conversation with ten Hag in the coming days. The defender has been linked with moves away to Premier League clubs Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and West Ham United (via Football 365).
Since arriving at Old Trafford in 2019, Maguire has made 175 appearances for the club, scoring seven goals across all competitions.
