Manchester United captain Harry Maguire will join Aston Villa. Apparently close to getting Harry Maguire from Manchester United is Aston Villa. Since Erik ten Hag joined the team in the summer, the Englishman has spent most of his playing time on the bench, and he is aching for more action. Anil Kandola, a talkSPORT journalist, has reported that Maguire has left Manchester United.
The 29-year-old is no longer in demand at Old Trafford, and Villa appears eager to sign him in order to strengthen their defense. Maguire fell down the food chain when Lisandro Martinez from Ajax arrived. Since moving to Manchester United from Leicester City in 2019, Maguire has become a stalwart. He has, however, struggled with his form this year and has been forced to sit on the bench more frequently. Despite this, he continues to be an important player for both club and nation, earning more than 50 caps for England.
Although Villa has not yet made their offer to the defender public, numerous rumors have indicated that they are close to doing so. The Villans are now 11th in the Premier League but have been inconsistent this year.
Therefore, adding a player of Maguire’s caliber and reputation might strengthen their defense and advance them toward the European spots. Given the dearth of defensive depth at Manchester United and the frequent injuries to important defenders like Raphael Varane, it is unclear if the club will be prepared to let Maguire go. Maguire, though, appears eager to move to Villa Park, and sources say that he has already spoken with the team about a prospective deal.
The possibility of a player of Maguire’s talent joining their club will no doubt excite Villa supporters. They will be hoping that the club can close a deal in the upcoming days. Villa would score a major victory and declare their resolve to compete for European spots.
In the upcoming weeks, it will be intriguing to observe how the transfer drama develops. However, for the time being, it appears that Villa is in control of the negotiations to hire the Manchester United defender.
