Harry Maguire

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has been linked with a shock move to Chelsea this summer but might be set for a frosty reception from one player in ...

It was just my natural reaction to straighten my leg and if he was going to fall on me to just hold him up really. Of course, Batshuayi might not even be at Chelsea should Maguire sign for the club. He then appeared to extend his leg towards the Chelsea man, making contact, with a number calling for the defender to be sent off. With the scores locked at 0-0, Maguire and Batshuayi both challenged for the ball in the first-half of the game, the former losing his balance towards the dugouts. He said: “I can see why. “Obviously, I’ve got studs on my boots and it probably looks worse on TV. I felt like at the time, I knew I caught him but I felt like he was going to fall on me and my natural reaction was to straighten my leg to try and, if he was to fall on me, hold him up.

Chelsea have made Leicester City's Wesley Fofana their priority signing for the centre-back position but Maguire has emerged as a surprising alternative for the Blues. Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has not enjoyed the best of spells at the club ever since completing his £80million move to the club from Leicester City in 2019. United have expressed interest in signing Pulisic as they aim to bolster their attack in the ongoing season amid a lack of quality options up front.

Man United's interest in Christian Pulisic could take a surprise turn with Harry Maguire part of a swap deal. Transfer Talk is LIVE with the latest.

The Saints are willing to let the [Poland](/soccer/team?id=471) international leave this summer, although there could be competition for Villa as he has received interest from across Europe. He has received interest from [Borussia Dortmund](/soccer/team?id=124), [Eintracht Frankfurt](/soccer/team?id=125), [Crystal Palace](/soccer/team?id=384) and clubs in [Qatar](/soccer/team?id=4398) this summer but none have taken action, meaning Barcelona would face little competition if they opt to move for the [Mali](/soccer/team?id=2849) international. The [Italy](/soccer/team?id=162) international will now discuss personal terms ahead of a permanent departure from Stamford Bridge, with some details still to be clarified over the weekend before a deal can be completed. The Ligue 1 champions have come up against difficult negotiations, but have moved back in again with Luis Campos wanting to sign him and Christophe Galtier feeling that he would have liked to have the [Portugal](/soccer/team?id=482) international available for the [Lille](/soccer/team?id=166) match on Sunday.

"Until the end of the window it's possible that anything can happen with any player," Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta told a news conference on Friday.

Opinion among Manchester United fans was divided as it was reported that Chelsea could move for Harry Maguire.

[Ten Hag is considering dropping Maguire](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/maguire-liverpool-man-united-news-24780615) ahead of the Liverpool match on Monday night. It is reported that Thomas Tuchel's side are exploring the possibility of taking Maguire to London as part of a deal that would see Christian Pulisic join the Reds on loan this transfer window. [Maguire](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/harry-maguire) has cast a controversial figure during his time at the club so far. It is believed that the Dutchman could turn to [Raphael Varane](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/raphael-varane) to start alongside [Lisandro Martinez](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/lisandro-martinez) against Jurgen Klopp's side. [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11128527/Chelsea-eye-SHOCK-swoop-struggling-Manchester-United-England-defender-Harry-Maguire.html) reported that Chelsea are considering making a move for the United captain. He was booed by fans during the club's pre-season tour in Australia as his role as captain under [Erik ten Hag](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/erik-ten-hag) was put into the spotlight.

The London club are clearly desperate to bring another central defender in before the end of the window, as they remain keen on Leicester's Wesley Fofana.

Maguire has played his best football for England, in a back three, something which Tuchel loves to operate. While a move for Maguire is now on the cards, Fofana remains Chelsea’s first choice, and it is starting to feel more and more likely that an agreement could be made for the player. [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11128527/Chelsea-eye-SHOCK-swoop-struggling-Manchester-United-England-defender-Harry-Maguire.html) have reported that Chelsea have raised the possibility of taking Maguire to west London as part of United’s attempts to sign Christian Pulisic.

Maguire was mooted as part of a swap deal involving Christian Pulisic, but Manchester United's position is that their captain is not for sale.

Manchester United do not want to sell Harry Maguire this summer despite reported interest from Chelsea. The Blues have emerged as shock contenders for the ...

Top target Fofana was left out of the Leicester squad to face Southampton on Saturday as the Blues consider a third offer. United are keen to sign Pulisic on loan while Chelsea are likely to favour a permanent deal if the USMNT captain is to depart this summer. Chelsea boss Tuchel declared on Friday ahead of the trip to Leeds that he doesn't want to lose any of the club's current players with Pulisic among those seemingly close to the exit door. The Mail have reported that Chelsea are open to the prospect of a potential swap deal that could see Christian Pulisic head the other way to Old Trafford. The Dutchman decided to stick with Maguire as his captain for the 2022/23 season in a show of commitment to the club's record signing. Chelsea are still scanning the market for potential alternatives in case Leicester continue to hold firm on the Frenchman.

Enquiry was earlier this week and was linked to Utd's interest in Christian Pulisic. Chelsea's priority remains a deal for Fofana.

Having said all that, if there is any coach who could revive Maguire’s career and reputation, it’s Thomas Tuchel, whose three-man defensive setup seems an ideal fit for the type of ball-playing center half that Maguire is (or once was). That’s probably a good thing, and something that should help us in the future, even if it might lead to an overabundance of silly rumors, just like in the heyday of Roman Abramovich’s unchecked spending. And by a little, I mean a lot: Chelsea “made [...] an enquiry” and “raised the possibility” of a deal, maybe involving Christian Pulisic (which idea had been pretty much debunked already), possibly in response to United doing the same for him. The 29-year-old, who still holds the world transfer record for a defender (the one that we’re trying to avoid having to break with Fofana) has three years left on his contract, so there’s no pressure in that regard either. The Daily Mail, who broke this news, may have shouted into their megaphone that Chelsea [transfer window](http://www.sbnation.com/transfer-rumors)), though it again further underlines the idea that Todd Boehly is willing to at least consider just about any possibility in the market, and is willing to explore just about every deal, building business relationships throughout the league and Europe at breakneck pace.
