Harry Maguire, a star for England, is rumored to be joining Tottenham Hotspur, a Premier League rival of Manchester United.
Maguire defied his doubters at the World Cup in Qatar. Despite his woeful club form, the 29-year-old was one of Gareth Southgate’s most impressive players on the Three Lions’ run to the quarter-finals of the tournament.
At United, however, Maguire has lost his place in the starting XI under manager Erik ten Hag, after a series of poor performances. Indeed, the England international is now behind a pair of World Cup finalists – Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martínez – in the United pecking order.
Ten Hag has admitted he is prepared to give club captain Maguire a chance this term, and challenged the player to replicate his international displays in the Premier League.
Asked if Maguire could go, Ten Hag said, via The Sun: “Only when he doesn’t want to be in these circumstances anymore. Until that moment, I am happy with him.”
Maguire to Spurs?
The former Rangers and Scotland star said: “I think he will move. I don’t think he may move, I’ll go one further – I think he WILL move.
“He isn’t going to hang around – he wants to play.
“I don’t think there are any guarantees that he’s going to march back into the Manchester United team, not in front of Varane and Martinez.”
McCoist said: “Well, that’s up for debate. Clearly, he will want to play.
“Straight away off the top of my head, I’d say he’s good enough for Spurs. Arsenal? Maybe not at this moment in time.
“But he’s been one of England’s best players at the World Cup.”
