Manchester United have rejected West Ham’s £20 million bid for Harry Maguire, leaving the Hammers uncertain about their chances of signing the center-back.
The offer comes as Maguire’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain due to his recent demotion in the starting lineup.
West Ham have also been linked to Scott McTominay, but Manchester United are unwilling to let go of the midfielder without a considerable fee.
The likelihood of West Ham making an improved offer for Maguire appears to be low due to his increased salary at Manchester United, making his future at the club unclear and leaving them uncertain in their search for defensive reinforcements.
West Ham’s Offer
West Ham’s offer of £20 million for Harry Maguire was rejected by Manchester United, making it unlikely the Hammers will make an improved bid.
West Ham manager David Moyes was reportedly interested in signing the center-back, looking to strengthen the team’s defense this summer.
The offer was reportedly turned down by Manchester United, who value Maguire higher than the bid.
Reports also suggest that West Ham is unlikely to return with an improved offer.
Maguire’s uncertain interest in the move is also a factor, as it is unclear if he would be willing to join the London-based club.
Maguire’s Future
The uncertain future of Harry Maguire has caused speculation as to whether the center-back will remain at his current club or look for a new team. West Ham had made an offer of £20 million for Maguire, which was rejected by Manchester United.
Maguire’s current salary at Manchester United was increased due to Champions League qualification, and he was stripped of his captaincy when new manager Erik ten Hag arrived. Maguire now finds himself slipping down the pecking order at his club and is likely looking to reclaim his place in the starting line-up.
Furthermore, it is unclear if Maguire would even be interested in a move to West Ham, given their location in London. West Ham are unlikely to make any further offers for Maguire due to his increased salary and their search for defensive reinforcements.
As such, Maguire’s future at Manchester United is uncertain as he seeks to find first-team football.
McTominay’s Options
Scott McTominay may be faced with the decision to either stay with his current club or seek first-team football elsewhere. Manchester United values the midfielder as a valuable squad player and is not actively looking to offload him.
West Ham is considering making an offer for McTominay, but it would need to be of around £40m to £45m in order to tempt Manchester United into selling. McTominay is open to staying at Manchester United, but he is keen to secure regular first-team football. He has stated that he does not want to sit on the bench and would prefer to see out the transfer window before deciding on his future.
Manchester United’s squad composition will be a factor in McTominay’s decision, as there is an uncertainty in the club’s defensive lineup.
