Manchester United is nearing a new contract agreement with Harry Maguire, according to sources from ESPN.
Maguire’s existing contract expires in June, and discussions between his representatives and the club have been reportedly positive, with both parties optimistic about reaching a conclusion soon.
The proposed new deal is anticipated to extend for one year until 2027, with an optional additional year, potentially keeping him at Old Trafford until June 2028.
The defender has attracted interest from other Premier League teams and is expected to be rewarded for his pivotal role in United’s resurgence under Michael Carrick.
At 33, Maguire has made ten consecutive starts and has successfully earned his place back in the England national squad. He recently played the full match in a 1-1 draw against Uruguay at Wembley on Friday.
Maguire is expected to miss the next match against Leeds United at Old Trafford on April 13 due to a red card received during the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.
Carrick remains hopeful that Lisandro Martínez will be fit following the international break, to avoid relying on young players like Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven against Leeds. Matthijs de Ligt remains unavailable due to a back injury.
– Manchester United must determine if Carrick is the right choice or if another option exists.
– Thomas Tuchel raises questions about Harry Maguire’s chances for the England World Cup.
Additionally, sources inform ESPN that United is in discussions with Kobbie Mainoo regarding his long-term future.
The midfielder’s contract runs until 2027, with an option for a further year, but negotiations are underway to ensure his contract reflects his growing importance as a first-team player.
