Overview
- Multiple outlets report the dressing room believes it would be “madness” not to hand Maguire a new contract as his deal runs out this summer.
- Any extension is expected to be on reduced base wages with performance incentives compared with his current reported £190,000‑per‑week terms.
- Maguire has started regularly under interim coach Michael Carrick and formed a strong pairing with Lisandro Martinez during United’s recent upturn.
- INEOS are reported to be planning the signing of another centre‑back, a move that could impact pathways for younger defenders such as Ayden Heaven and Tyler Fredricson.
- No agreement has been announced and Maguire remains free to negotiate with overseas clubs, with AC Milan and Saudi Pro League interest reported.
