Manchester United are reportedly preparing to offer Harry Maguire a £10 million pay-off in order to facilitate his departure from the club this summer. It is anticipated that the upcoming FA Cup final could potentially mark Maguire’s final appearance for the team, with the 30-year-old captain expected to be relegated to the bench for the game against Manchester City at Wembley. Despite having been acquired for a staggering £80 million from Leicester in 2019, Maguire’s value has since decreased to around £30 million due to factors such as his age and the fact that he is in the midst of a six-year contract. With two years remaining on his £190,000-a-week deal, it is projected that Maguire would only receive half of that amount if he were to move to a new club, leaving United responsible for covering a £10 million wage bill in order to offload him. Concerns have been raised by England manager Gareth Southgate regarding Maguire’s limited playing time at United and how it may impact his standing within the national team. Additionally, there have been remarks from Ten Hag, acknowledging the challenging situation faced by the player. The decision regarding his future is emphasized as being in Maguire’s hands, with the club also reinforcing this sentiment. Maguire is just one of several players whose future at United is uncertain following the Cup Final, with doubts looming over the likes of Anthony Martial, Fred, Scott McTominay, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
