West Ham have finally started working on the transfer market this summer, after agreeing a £35m deal for Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez, who is expected to undergo a medical in London in next 24 hours.

And the sledgehammer is also waiting for a response from Man United on an offer to buy defender Maguire and midfielder McTominay for around £ 30 million each.

Coach David Moyes is very interested in signing two Manchester United players. After an initial offer of £20m per person was rejected, West Ham immediately raised the price by £10m but was immediately rejected

In addition to the duo of Maguire and McTominay, Man United are keen to sell Fred and Donny van de Beek this week to get money to sign Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat. Van de Beek is being contacted by Sociedad, while Fred is in the sights of Fulham and Galatasaray.

The Red Devils spent £164 million in the summer 2023 transfer window to bring in three new recruits, including midfielder Mason Mount (from Chelsea, £55m), goalkeeper Andre Onana (from Inter Milan, £45m) and Rasmus Hojlund (from Atalanta, £64m).

MU’s transfer budget is almost exhausted and to bring in more rookies, they are forced to sell less players. Maguire, McTominay, Fred and Van de Beek are among the top winners.
