The 30-year-old English player, who netted 32 goals last season, has been deemed excess to needs at Old Trafford, with many sources pointing to his obstinate demeanor and inflated self-regard as the main reasons for his exit.
Maguire’s departure surprises many due to his impressive goal-scoring record and top-level experience.
Nonetheless, insiders suggest that his relationship with manager Erik ten Hag had deteriorated, with the Dutchman growing frustrated with Maguire’s perceived arrogance and lack of teamwork. “Harry Maguire is a skilled player, but his attitude has been problematic for a while,” a source shared. “He seems to think he’s more important than the club, and his rigidity has made it hard for him to adapt to the new system.
The manager tried to work with him, but ultimately, it was deemed best for both sides to part ways.”
