Since the sale of Declan Rice to Arsenal has now been officially announced by the Hammers, head coach David Moyes should have a large budget to bolster his team during the current market.
Maguire and McTominay’s futures have been the subject of much conjecture in recent weeks, with neither player thought to be in head coach Ten Hag’s future plans for the Red Devils.
The Independent claims that West Ham will increase their interest in McTominay now that Rice’s deal has been officially announced. McTominay is thought to be the Hammers’ top midfield target.
According to the report, Moyes’ club is also interested in Maguire, and in the current market, a loan deal for the England international is reportedly a possibility.
This summer, Maguire’s pay at Manchester United increased. The 30-year-old still has two more years on his contract at Old Trafford, with the option of an additional year.
However, the former Sheffield United teenager has fallen down the starting lineup for the center of the Red Devils defense, only making the starting lineup eight times in the Premier League during the 2022–23 season.
Man United reportedly wants to get rid of the Englishman permanently this summer, but given his enormous salary, a loan move is regarded to be more plausible.
Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof are all ahead of Maguire in the pecking order for the centre-back spots, while Luke Shaw was also picked ahead of him in that area last season.
Numerous Premier League clubs are rumoured to be interested in signing McTominay, so much conjecture surrounds his future.
Scotland’s national team was extensively connected to Newcastle United during the January transfer window, and they are still reportedly in the running to sign him.
The 26-year-old, who started just 10 Premier League games in 2022–23, has also reportedly attracted the eye of Everton and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Although McTominay is not regarded to be a straight replacement for Rice, West Ham head coach David Moyes thinks the Scot might be an important player at the London Stadium.
As the club looks to clinch deals for Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana and Atalanta BC attacker Rasmus Hojlund, Man United is under pressure to make some first-team sales this summer.
