MUFC Drove Away All My Suitors This Summer – Maguire

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has said that the club turned down offers for him this summer. He recently hinted that he is very keen to extend his stay by signing a new contract.

Speaking to the press, he revealed that the Red Devils have already made it clear that he would not be leaving under any circumstances this summer.

According to him, the new hierarchy has been steering MUFC in the right direction since they came in, and the club almost feel like a completely different place in terms of its management staff.

Revealing that his suitors received an immediate no as response, the English CB appreciated the club for the faith shown in him.

“I think there were a couple of clubs who maybe enquired or spoke with them [United] and I think they got a quick response.

I’m pretty sure the club have made it aware this summer that I can’t leave on any terms with other clubs enquiring about things and my position with my contract.

We’re in a good place, positive as a club and I feel like the hierarchy has come in and Jason [Wilcox] and the manager, I feel like they’re taking it in the right direction.

I think it’s been, since I started six years ago to where it is now, it’s in a completely different place in terms of the structure behind the management staff,” he said.

Maguire further noted that he expects discussions over an extension to happen as the season progresses.

The England international concluded by saying that he is not looking to end his time at Manchester United anytime soon.

“Last year, the clause was in their hands so there was no option for me there. There was no talking.

It was just they activated it and it got extended. This year, obviously I’m up at the end of the year.

I’m sure over the next few months they’ll sit down and we’ll have to have a conversation about where we want to go and if they want to extend or obviously the transfer window will open again in January.

I have something in my mind about what I want to do and what I want to be. I don’t want to put it out there to everybody but it’s an amazing club to play for and you’d be silly if you wanted to jump out of it as soon as you could,” he added.
