Manchester United have slashed their asking price for Harry Maguire by €15 million in an attempt to sell the England defender.

Maguire is available for transfer this summer but United have not received any concrete offers for the 30-year-old so far.

The reason for that is because United were asking for €58 million in order to sell.

Now, according to GiveMeSport, United have reduced their asking price to €41m.

A further sign that United want Maguire out of the club was the news on Sunday that they had stripped the defender of the club's captaincy.

Both Tottenham and West Ham are interested in Maguire and United hope that the lower asking price will invite offers.

Maguire has endured two miserable past seasons for Man Utd.

After an error-prone 2021-22 season, he lost his place in the first team during the past campaign as Erik Ten Hag preferred Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez as his centre back pairing.

When Maguire has played he has often struggled, including two huge errors in the Europa League quarter-final defeat to Sevilla.

Maguire dropped to fifth choice in the centre back pecking order at United, with left-back Luke Shaw even preferred to him recently in the absence of Martinez and Varane.

The ex-Hull and Leicester defender wants to leave in the summer in order to protect his position for the England national team ahead of Euro 2024.

Aston Villa have also been linked with a move for him, as have Jose Mourinho’s Roma.

Maguire joined Man Utd from Leicester in a world record deal for a defender in 2019.

He has made 175 appearances and scored seven goals.
