Manchester United will listen to offers for Harry Maguire in January – starting at just £10million, Daily Star reports.
That price, a huge reduction on the £30m he would have cost barely a year ago, underlines that United consider the England defender dispensable. Maguire, 31, has constantly struggled to retain a regular place under Erik ten Hag during the past couple of seasons.
Stripped of the captaincy this time last year, he was deemed surplus to requirements by the Dutchman. But a proposed move to West Ham collapsed and Maguire later earned a reprieve with Ten Hag before being rocked by injury problems.
Last season he started just 18 Premier League games after two long spells out with groin and muscular trouble and eventually missed out on the European Championships.
That run of bad luck struck again last Sunday as he was forced off with a foot injury 45 minutes into the Reds’ goalless draw at Aston Villa.
Maguire is not expected back in first-team contention until next month and by then, if everyone is available in the centre-half position, will have dropped down the pecking order.
Ten Hag was key to the £50m capture of Matthias de Ligt from Bayern Munich in the summer and will want to persist with his Netherlands defender
