Sources: Man United could agree new contract with star savaged by fans

Man United will not rush into a decision on the future of Harry Maguire, sources have told Football Insider.

The 31-year-old is currently out of contract at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, but United have a 12-month extension clause in his reported £190,000-a-week deal.

Football Insider revealed on Monday (30 September) that Man United are desperate not to let Maguire leave the club for free next year.

His contract extension could yet be triggered if a suitable buyer can’t be found or if he becomes indispensable once again at Old Trafford.

That will be viewed as a surprise by many, as the England international has never been the first choice under current boss Erik ten Hag and has often been heavily criticised by fans about his performances.

Man United could yet activate Maguire extension clause

However, with the Dutchman under pressure at Old Trafford – club chiefs are aware his situation could be transformed with a new man at the helm.

Football Insider revealed on Monday (30 September) that Ten Hag is not in immediate danger despite the 3-0 home loss against Tottenham – but INEOS will demand an improvement in results.

Maguire previously came close to joining West Ham last year (2023) but the move fell through.

He has made seven appearances this term, starting in five of those outings – but was missing through injury for the 3-0 defeat against Tottenham.

Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt were brought in to compete with the England star for a starting berth in the summer window.
