West Ham United ‘considering’ loan move for Manchester United defender Harry Maguire

Premier League rivals West Ham United are ‘considering’ making an approach to get Manchester United star Harry Maguire in January, according to the Mirror.

The Hammers are looking at potentially signing the England international on a temporary move in the ongoing transfer window. David Moyes’ team could lose Craig Dawson this month, with Wolverhampton Wanderers interested.

West Ham see the 29-year-old as a replacement for their centre-back. The Hammers are currently battling relegation. Moyes has the likes of Thilo Kehrer, Kurt Zouma, Angelo Ogbonna and Nayef Aguerd at his disposal.

Maguire signed for Man United in the summer of 2019 from Leicester City. His performances at the 2018 World Cup caught a lot of people’s attention.

After a few months with the Red Devils, the 29-year-old was handed the captain’s armband. The defender was decent in our backline until last season.

In the previous campaign, the England international struggled a lot. He made a number of errors in the backline that led to the Old Trafford side’s defence becoming shaky.

With the arrival of Erik ten Hag, Maguire has lost his place in the starting lineup. After the defeats in the first two games of the season against Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford, the Dutch manager dropped the 29-year-old.

Since then, Ten Hag has stuck with Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez as his preferred partnership in the backline. In recent weeks, Luke Shaw has also been deployed as a centre-back ahead of the former Leicester star.

Victor Lindelof is also at the gaffer’s disposal. Maguire was brilliant for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Unfortunately, that has still not led to the 29-year-old getting his place back at Man United.

It remains to be seen whether the club will decide to let the centre-back leave this month. However, it would be wise to let the England international leave if his situation remains the same to avoid any disharmony in the team.
