Why Man Utd can’t sell Harry Maguire?

Football — 08/31/2023

A turning point occurred that prevented Manchester United from selling former captain Harry Maguire.

According to a report from Sky Sports (UK), Varane could be out of action for up to 6 weeks. Information also shows that MU’s reluctance to allow Harry Maguire to leave the club this summer is partly due to uncertainty about Varane’s upcoming ability to play. Meanwhile, Raphael Varane also has a history of trauma sensitivity. In recent seasons, Varane has been constantly sidelined due to injury. The French midfielder has never played a full season in the “reds” and he always takes long-term breaks several times per season.

West Ham wants to return to the negotiating table with MU to buy Harry Maguire, after this deal collapsed earlier because of salary issues, despite MU and West Ham have reached an agreement on the transfer fee. Now, with a difficult personnel situation, MU no longer wants to sell Maguire to West Ham and that is why the former MU captain will not be able to leave.The World Cup champion has started all three of MU’s Premier League matches so far this season. Varane was the player who scored the first goal for MU in the new season with the only goal that helped Erik ten Hag’s team overcome Wolves 1-0 at Old Trafford in round 1 of the Premier League.

Now, Varane, along with Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and Malacia, will not be part of the more or less good trip to London to meet “gunners” Arsenal at Emirates Stadium in round 4 of the Premier League at the weekend. Varane was not seen on the training field yesterday (August 29) with the entire MU team. Meanwhile, Mason Mount has not been able to play since being injured in MU’s 0-2 loss to Tottenham in round 2 of the Premier League. Mount will only return to play after the national team camp next month.

Left-back Luke Shaw may also have to sit out until November. Now, coach Erik Ten Hag needs to urgently strengthen MU’s defense before the summer transfer market closes on September 1, in the context that another left-back, Tyrell Malacia, is also unable to play because of injury.
