Manchester United are reportedly prepared to part ways with Harry Maguire this summer, less than a year after handing the defender a contract extension. According to Football Insider, the Red Devils are open to listening to offers for the 33-year-old center-back, despite his newly signed deal that ties him to Old Trafford until June 2027—with an option for an additional year.
The news marks a dramatic turnaround for Maguire, who appeared to have resurrected his United career under Erik ten Hag after being stripped of the captaincy and falling down the pecking order. However, sources suggest that the club's hierarchy is now willing to make a ruthless call, prioritizing a rebuild of the aging defensive unit.
Maguire's new contract, signed earlier this season, was widely seen as a reward for his professionalism and improved performances when called upon. Yet, with the emergence of younger options and potential summer transfer targets, United's stance appears to have shifted. The England international remains a respected figure in the dressing room, but the club's need for long-term planning may override sentiment.
If a suitable offer arrives—likely from a Premier League rival or a top European side—United will not stand in his way, according to the report. For Maguire, a move could mean regular first-team football, which he craves ahead of the next international cycle. Whether any club will meet United's valuation remains to be seen, but the message is clear: no player is safe, even with fresh ink on a contract.
