AC Milan Reportedly Interested in Signing Harry Maguire from Manchester United
AC Milan is among several clubs in Italy that are interested in signing Harry Maguire from Manchester United, according to reports. The Red Devils are willing to listen to offers for Maguire, who has been considered surplus to requirements by manager Erik ten Hag.
Maguire’s Situation at Manchester United
The centre-back was stripped of the United captaincy over the summer and has only started one Premier League game this season. Even that start was due to the club’s injury crisis, with Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane sidelined. Maguire nearly left Old Trafford in the summer, but a move to West Ham collapsed. Despite his determination to fight for his place at the club, Maguire recently expressed his frustration with his lack of game time, suggesting that he is open to a January exit.
AC Milan’s Interest in Maguire
AC Milan’s interest in Maguire has renewed following this news. However, they are not the only ones keen on the player. According to talkSPORT, “AC Milan are among a host of Serie A clubs monitoring the situation.” It is believed that a move to Italy could appeal to Maguire as he could emulate former United and England defender Chris Smalling, who has enjoyed a revival in form since joining Roma in 2019.
Serie A as a Destination for English Players
Serie A has proven to be a popular destination for English players looking to prove a point. Former Chelsea starlets Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori have enjoyed success at Roma and AC Milan, respectively. Maguire could still revive his United career, especially considering the club’s shaky defense in his absence. He could potentially be the answer to their defensive problems.
Manchester United’s Current Situation
Manchester United currently sits 10th in the Premier League table, eight points off leaders Tottenham. They have a crucial match against Sheffield United coming up this Saturday night. In the meantime, Maguire is expected to start for England in their clash against Italy on Tuesday night. A victory for the Three Lions will secure qualification for Euro 2024.
