DBasia.news – Manchester United appreciated the performance of the captain, Harry Maguire. Based on the news released by The Sun, the Red Devils will reward the defender with a new contract plus a salary increase.
Manchester United purchased Harry Maguire from Leicester City for a fee of 80 million pounds in 2019. This amount has made Maguire the world’s most expensive defender.
However, the high transfer value also invites question from a number of parties. Maguire is considered not worthy of a tag of 80 million pounds. Moreover, at the beginning of his appearance, Maguire appeared unconvincing.
Over time, Maguire proved that Manchester United was right to purchase him at a high price. So far, he has recorded 114 appearances for the Red Devils. In addition, Maguire also earned the trust of captain.
Not only shining at Man United, Maguire also sparkled in the England national team. He achieved the main position in the back line of The Three Lions. Maguire has also played 39 times for England.
Seeing Maguire’s satisfactory service, Manchester United plans to give him a new contract. The Red Devils are preparing a new five-season contract offer.
In addition, Maguire will also receive a raise. If agreed, Maguire will receive a wage of 300 thousand pounds per week. Currently, Maguire’s salary is 189 thousand pounds per week with a contract duration until the summer of 2025.
