Manchester United defender Harry Maguire will NOT be joining West Ham United this summer, according to stunning reports.
Maguire has been the subject of intense transfer speculation after Erik ten Hag stripped him of the Man United captaincy.
Fellow Premier League side West Ham were interested in snapping up the England international before the transfer window slammed shut.
However, they have failed to agree terms with the player after striking a deal with the Red Devils, who accepted a bid of £30 million from the Hammers.
According to David Ornstein, personal terms were never agreed, and the 30-year-old and he did not speak to David Moyes about a move to the London Stadium.Ahead of Man United's Premier League season opener against Wolves, Erik ten Hag fired a brutal warning to Maguire.
"He has to fight for his place," said the Dutchman. "He has the ability to be first choice centre-back, he is the best for England so why shouldn’t he be the best for us - he has to prove it. When he is not confident enough to fight then he has to make a decision and go."
Maguire was an unused substitute in Man United's 1-0 victory over Wolves at Old Trafford on Monday.
The defender, who joined the club in a transfer worth £80 million in 2019, played just 16 league games last season.
He has fallen down the pecking order and is behind Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof.
It looks like Maguire will remain at Man United and fight for his spot in the starting XI.
