Man Utd’s transfer plan is likely to change after midfielder Harry Maguire decided not to leave Old Trafford.
This summer, coach Erik ten Hag continues to promote the change of personnel for Man Utd.
Up to now, the Red Devils have successfully recruited 3 rookies including Mason Mount, Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund.
At the same time, Man Utd has a plan to push away the excess. Throughout this summer, Harry Maguire’s future has become unpredictable.
Initially, the Red Devils agreed to sell Maguie to West Ham for £ 30 million. However, the former Leicester City midfielder does not want to leave.
Maguire respected West Ham but never agreed on personal terms. On the contrary, Maguire is fine at United, loves the team and believes he will have plenty of opportunities to play while he stays.
According to journalist David Ornstein, Man Utd should have found a replacement. But Maguire’s decision could change all that. There, the possibility that Man Utd will not sign a long-term contract with Jonny Evans.
Evans is an experienced player, but will become redundant as long as Maguire is still attached to Man Utd.
More importantly, Man Utd can also stop pursuing Benjamin Pavard. The 2018 World Cup champion was once considered a top target to replace Maguire.
But with Bayern Munich not giving the green light, and Maguire not going to West Ham, Man Utd can stop planning to implement this deal.
Instead, Man Utd will promote the purchase of Sofyan Amrabat. This could also be the last rookie of Man Utd this summer.
