Overview
- Manchester United have not begun formal negotiations over an extension, and Maguire can discuss pre-contract terms with overseas clubs after January 1.
- Intermediaries for Serie A and Turkish Super Lig sides have contacted Maguire’s camp, while Bournemouth, Chelsea, Everton, West Ham, Inter Milan, Napoli and Saudi Pro League clubs are among those linked.
- Senior figures at United are split, with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe hesitant in order to fast-track Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven, while others at the club back keeping the veteran centre-back.
- Interim manager Michael Carrick rates Maguire as integral to the side but has not been consulted on the contract decision.
- Maguire is understood to prefer staying in England and would accept reduced wages, buoyed by standout performances in wins over Manchester City and Arsenal, including a Man of the Match display at the Emirates.
