Manchester United Make Harry Maguire Offer

Jose Mourinho continues to seek defensive reinforcements with the likes of Harry Maguire and Toby Alderweireld mentioned.

The Italy global joined United under former boss Louis van Gaal in 2015 but has fallen down the pecking order since Mourinho’s arrival in 2016, making just 17 appearances across all competitions last season.

And so it looks to be Maguire or nothing.

The Daily Star is reporting that the Red Devils will have to eclipse the £75m fee that Liverpool FC spent on Southampton centre-half Virgil van Dijk in the January transfer window.

But what does the player think of the potential move?

However, the 23-year-old – who is in the final year of his deal – defended his physique and insisted he is ready to win a new contract following a gruelling personal pre-season training routine in Dubai.

Darmian’s playing time has diminished since Mourinho arrived at Old Trafford.

Reports emerged last night suggesting Maguire had indicated a desire to move to Old Trafford.

The Croatian worldwide caught the eye of Old Trafford bigwigs during a series of impressive World Cup displays.

“Last season I didn’t play much – that’s my objective and my ambition”.

Speaking to a number of national newspapers, Darmian said: “I want to play more regularly. Well, we wait to see”.

Newly-promoted Wolves have brought in the Portuguese worldwide Joao Moutinho already this window in an eye-catching move but are not content yet according to reports.

Manchester United are preparing to launch a “huge bid” for Leicester City’s Harry Maguire as they move closer to sealing defender Marcos Rojo’s £25m switch to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
