“Talks are taking place” – Romano confirms Man United talks for experienced defender

Manchester United are currently working on sorting out the future of Harry Maguire, according to transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano.

Having once been a key member of United’s backline, the 32-year-old has seen his role diminished in recent seasons, leading to speculation about whether the club will offer him a new contract or allow him to leave.

With his current deal approaching its final phase, the decisions made in the coming weeks could signal a turning point in Maguire’s United career.

As per Romano, talks are taking place between Maguire and the club over a new deal but it would not include a pay-rise for the defender.

The Red Devils will structure the deal differently but the new deal would mean that the England international defender would extend his stay at Old Trafford.

Writing for the GiveMeSport newsletter, Romano revealed:

“No [he won’t be receiving a pay rise]. It would have to be a different salary structure for Maguire in order to make it happen, talks are taking place.”
