Harry Maguire has not always had the best of times at Manchester United, and I would not be surprised if the Red Devils decided to move him on at the end of the season.
Manchester United paid £80 million in transfer fees to Leicester City for Harry Maguire back in 2019.
Maguire has not been as bad as some people would like you to believe, but at the same time, no one can say that he has been a massive success at United.
The defender is also 31 now. He is not getting any younger. Maguire is under contract at United until the summer of 2025, with the option for a further year.
There was intense speculation that Maguire could leave United at the end of last season. He stayed at Old Trafford, but he has been essentially a squad player.
Maguire has made 15 starts in the Premier League for Erik ten Hag’s side this campaign.
Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has suggested a potential successor to Maguire at United.
The pundit has tipped Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite for a potential move to Old Trafford in the summer transfer window.
Collymore has also suggested that Branthwaite could succeed Maguire in the England team.
Maguire is a regular for England head coach Gareth Southgate and tends to start when he is fit and available.
Jarrad Branthwaite tipped to replace Harry Maguire at Manchester United
While naming Branthwaite among the players who could be on the move this summer, Collymore wrote in CaughtOffSide: “Heir apparent to Harry Maguire for club and country?
“Just be wary of the ‘English’ levy on his price and any potential suitor should get a very nice deal for a player who could be a mainstay for some years to come.”
Everton want big money for Jarrad Branthwaite
Jarrad Branthwaite has emerged as one of the best young defenders in the Premier League and has established himself as an important player for Everton.
The 21-year-old has scored two goals in 28 Premier League games this season.
Manchester United and Real Madrid are among the clubs who are keen on Branthwaite, as HITC revealed in March.
We also understand that Everton want £70 million in transfer fees for the English defender.
