Since Ten Hag arrived, Maguire has started to become an alternative choice due to inconsistent performances and often making fatal mistakes. Currently Ten Hag has also moved the captaincy, he has been captain for almost 3.5 years. Perhaps this decision made Maguire disappointed. So many rumors circulated Maguire was preparing to leave Man United. Reportedly there are many clubs interested in owning him, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham, and Newcastle United. Serie A clubs Inter Milan and Al Hilal could also be new destination options for Maguire. United label Maguire with a price tag of 50 million pounds
Taking the armband away from him was a tough one. Inevitably, there will be sympathy for Maguire in losing the captaincy too. But Ten Hag deserves credit for this tightrope walk. Looking at it, it’s evident that Maguire Manchester United career has not benefited him or the club and I'm sympathetic towards his situation...I hope he leaves to a mid table club where he can get consistent game time so he can find happiness again.
I read a news report where it was rumored that Chelsea will table a bid for Maguire well if it real I think that will be a better alternative for him (Maguire) to leave instead of sitting on the bench at Man Utd after stripping him the captainship band and this could affect his international career having been one of the favorite player of Southgate Moreso the duo of Varane and Martinez had a solid partnership at the central defence of Man Utd last season consequently subjected Maguire to the bench hopefully they will retain their position this season, Evans a former club defender had also been signed by Erik ten Hag on a short term loan deal thus will definitely be another competitor to Maguire thus he will have a limited playing time.
