Maguire: The real reason why I didn't leave Man Utd
Harry Maguire has revealed that his move to West Ham United fell through because the two clubs could not come to an agreement.
The 30-year-old has explained that, contrary to rumours at the time, the Red Devils could not reach an agreement with West Ham United, adding that failed deal was not up to him. After an underwhelming 2022/23 campaign in which he made just 16 Premier League appearances – he started only eight of those fixtures – and having had the captaincy taken off him by manager Erik ten Hag, an exit seemed to be on the cards for the former United skipper when the off-season window beckoned.
"The actual opportunity to go to West Ham wasn't agreed really between both clubs and myself. So it wasn't just my chance to say, 'Yes and I'm going'," the centre-back said at a press conference, per"It wasn't agreed between both clubs so the actual opportunity wasn't there because we didn't get far enough down the line with it.
Despite his commitment to fighting for a consistent place in the Old Trafford side's starting XI, Maguire also revealed that he could reconsider his future at the club if he is not given more playing opportunities by Ten Hag.
