Maguire to leave Manchester United as Arsenal consider Kante swoop

The Daily Mail reports that Harry Maguire is prepared to leave Manchester United to keep his team in the England squad.

“Harry Maguire is growing increasingly fearful he may to have to leave Manchester United this summer due to the lack of faith shown in him by manager Erik Ten Hag.

“The England defender wants to stay and fight for his place despite falling down the pecking order at Old Trafford this season.

“But Maguire is concerned that a lack of game-time next year could hinder his chances of starting for Gareth Southgate’s side at the European Championship.

“Maguire attracted interest from West Ham, Inter Milan and Roma during the January transfer window and will have offers during the close-season, although may have to accept a cut in his £190,000-a-week wages.

“United are not desperate to sell Maguire, but are close to the Premier League’s spending limits and with two years left on his contract it would suit the club to cash in this summer.”

Arsenal consider Kante swoop

Arsenal have signed Willian, David Luiz and Jorginho in recent years from Chelsea, and The Mirror suggests there could be another player in line for a move.

“Arsenal seized on the growing numbers in the Chelsea squad by signing Jorginho in January and could yet return for N’Golo Kante.

“The Blues have seen a host of new faces arrive through the door since Todd Boehly took control of the club, spending huge sums on players. Enzo Fernandes became the British record signing when he joined in January, adding to an already stacked midfield.

“That has other clubs on red alert and, according to reports, the north Londoners are looking to pounce on the uncertainty surrounding Kante’s future by signing the Frenchman. His contract expires in 2023 and, despite reports of talks between the player and the club, nothing is yet signed.”
