Club feel there is now not enough time to replace centre-backMaguire’s move to West Ham fell through over payoff demand

Erik ten Hag had recommended to United’s football director, John Murtough, that Maguire should be sold, with West Ham appearing the centre-back’s most likely destination. A £30m deal appeared set to go through a fortnight ago only to break down due to Maguire’s demand for a £7m payoff to make up the shortfall in salary he would have lost by taking a reduced wage in east London.
