Debate: £20m is more than fair for Harry Maguire – Man Utd will regret turning West Ham down

Manchester United rejected West Ham’s bid for Harry Maguire, raising the question of whether it was the right decision.

Last week, there were developments regarding Harry Maguire’s situation. He was removed as the captain of Manchester United and received a £20 million bid from West Ham, which was promptly rejected by his club.

The reports suggest that the chances of Manchester United selling Harry Maguire to West Ham are now slim, as the Hammers are unlikely to make a second bid for the player. United may have missed their opportunity to offload Maguire this summer.

The Red Devils might anticipate a higher price for their former captain, who currently holds the title of the most expensive defender in history, though there is potential for a new contender to emerge.

Last season, Maguire had a limited role in the team, with Luke Shaw often being preferred over him at centre-back. With Manchester United looking to offload high-earning players like David de Gea, the opportunity to move on from Maguire was presented by West Ham.

The club is stuck with Maguire and has to hope for another club to make a better offer.

I asked for your opinion on whether Manchester United missed a golden opportunity or made the right decision in holding out for a better offer. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below.
