Probably still on £100k + too much for that kind of quality

 

[Robbo]

I'm fine with him staying for another year if its on a lower wage.

So can an extension be with a reduced salary? I would have assumed it would be the same.

I doubt it, it's probably the same salary.

 

[fez]

It will be a years extension on the same contract.

 

[engee]

He's on £190k, that's a lot of money for a sub. Unless Amorim see him as a starter.

 

[uscool]

£190k ? He must be one of highest paid defenders in the league, don't think he justifies that recently he has just been OK the 3 at the back suits him doesn't get exposed as much with the lack of pace

Their hand is probably forced due to the predicament that the club is in.

 

[Lonewolf]

So yesterday it was being reported we wanted to keep Maguire but were trying to negotiate a lower salary.

And today: Ruben Amorim has revealed Manchester United will trigger the option of an extra year in Harry Maguire's contract.

Hmm. I don't mind Maguire really, he's done OK.

He’s too slow and lacks enough mobility to play anything other than the centre of the 3. Nothing more than a squad player for me.

This is surely a question of priorities. Whilst I don't rate Maguire, he's solid, has some leadership capability and his lack of pace can be better covered in a 3. Tbh I admire him for knuckling down and getting back in the frame. As it stands he's a better CB than Martinez this season. I suspect Amorim doesn't want to be having to bring in another CB when there are so many holes at WB and CM. Lindelof will go, Evans will go -you let Maguire go and you are down to four CB's if you write off Luke Shaw as permacrocked.

 

[Shamikebab]

He's been very good over the last year or so. Answered a lot of his critics and worked hard to get back into the team. As Calpol said it would be a big mistake to let 3 CBs leave in the same window, that would leave us with basically Yoro, Martinez and De Ligt. Remains to be seen whether Amorim prefers Mazraoui at RCB or WB long term.

Tells you where the standards have gone, when Maguire is being mentioned being very good and working hard , working hard should be standard

Squad player on lower wage yes , but he is on £190k isn't nowhere near that level , I'd love to see how much he earns compared to others defenders in this league

Only reason he isn't leaving is because Lindelof will be gone and it will cost more replacing Maguire , let's not try to twist it and say he is good enough
