According to a report from GiveMeSport, Manchester United are actively trying to move Harry Maguire on amidst strong links with West Ham.

Hammers boss David Moyes definitely needs to add a top-class centre-back to his ranks at the London Stadium in the summer transfer window.

Harry Maguire to West Ham surely on the cards with Manchester United trying to force him out

GiveMeSport reckon that Erik ten Hag is desperate to get the 57-capped England international out of Old Trafford this summer.

Let’s hope that Moyes really pushes to bring him to the London Stadium now.

He has been an absolute man mountain when playing for England over the past few years but has been the target of heavy criticism for some of his displays for Man United.

His struggles with the Red Devils have been exacerbated by his lack of pace, and the fact that they play a really high defensive line.

Conversely, West Ham set up with a really deep defensive line, and I think Harry Maguire would flourish with us, just like he did at Leicester.

Maguire’s teammate Luke Shaw described him as ‘unbelievable’ recently (The Mirror), and on his day I firmly believe that he’s one of the very best around.

Man United allegedly want to sign around £35 million for Maguire. That sounds a little steep to me given his age, but if Moyes can pick him up for closer to £25 million, I think that will be a deal that the Scot definitely should pursue.
