Amorim's First Transfer Move: Maguire's Contract Extension in Focus
Manchester United's new manager, Ruben Amorim, prioritizes extending Harry Maguire's contract as his initial transfer decision.
Ruben Amorim, the recently appointed manager of Manchester United, has swiftly identified his first transfer priority: securing a contract extension for defender Harry Maguire. With Maguire's current deal set to expire in six months, Amorim is urging the club's management to activate the one-year extension clause, emphasizing the English defender's importance in his tactical plans.
As of January 1st, Maguire is eligible to negotiate with other clubs for a potential free transfer at season's end. However, Amorim's insistence on retaining him underscores the defender's anticipated pivotal role under the new regime. Notably, with Bruno Fernandes suspended for the upcoming match against Newcastle, Maguire may don the captain's armband once again, highlighting his enduring significance within the squad.
