Coach Erik ten Hag decided to sell captains Harry Maguire and Fred in the next summer transfer window to purge the MU force.
Maguire has lost his official position in the MU squad since the day Ten Hag took over. Instead, Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez are the Dutch teacher’s preferred central defender pair.
As the most expensive defender on the planet when MU spent £ 80 million to pay Leicester in the summer of 2019, Harry Maguire has been in poor form for more than a year.

After having time to evaluate each player, Ten Hag is ready to liquidate the English midfielder. They will consider offers to buy Maguire for a fee of about £ 40 million.
The Manchester team accepted to cut losses. Ten Hag hopes, the proceeds from the sale of Maguire will be used to upgrade the Red Devils squad.
Currently, Maguire still has nearly three years on his contract, earning a salary of 190,000 pounds a week. Although he appreciates the professionalism of the student, according to Ten Hag, the 29-year-old midfielder’s slowness is a big problem.
Maguire’s shortcomings make him unable to compete with Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez at the moment.
Harry Maguire is not the only member of the Red Devils facing the risk of being liquidated by Ten Hag next summer.

MU is about to part ways with Fred when his contract expires in June 2023. Although the club has the option to extend it for a further 12 months, MU will not activate this clause.
Ten Hag was impressed with Fred’s dynamism and enthusiasm, but the Dutch strategist wanted to refresh the midfield, adding quality elements, in line with the philosophy.
There is no starting place at Old Trafford, but both Maguire and Fred are still recruited for England and Brazil, preparing to attend the 2022 World Cup.
