Several clubs have approached Man United for Harry Maguire. But, it looks like the centre-back isn’t going anywhere just yet.
Man United turn down offers for Maguire
Manchester United have reportedly turned away five separate approaches for Harry Maguire, as per The Daily Mail. The defender has been growing interest from both PL and Serie A sides during this summer window.
The Englishman has found a revival of form at Old Trafford. Now, he is seen as a key player under new head coach Ruben Amorim. Though his early days at United were poor following an £80m move from Leicester City six years ago. But, Maguire has been one of the few consistent names in the squad in the recent times. That steady form has drawn attention from across Europe, but United’s stance has been firm.
The defender has just one year remaining on his current contract. But, the Red Devils are reportedly planning to extend his stay at the club very soon.

A stay that could become permanent
Despite his age and the initial doubts over his role, Harry Maguire’s future now looks firmly tied to Man United. The Daily Mail reports that the club sees him finishing his career at Old Trafford. That said, a contract extension could be in works in the coming days. While no official talks have started yet, Utd’s rejection of all inquiries signals clear intent.
The message to the interested clubs is very clear, Maguire is part of the project moving forward. It’s believed the defender himself is open to staying long term. That would mark a very long period at one of football’s biggest stages.
The clubs that came calling, including three from England and two from Italy, will have to look elsewhere. The Red Devils have decided on keeping one of their most experienced names in the dressing room.
