West Ham make £30M Man United bid

West Ham United have made an official £30M bid for Man United defender Harry Maguire. The swoop is part of an audacious ‘take it or leave it’ double raid on the Manchester club. Scott McTominay is the second part of the deal, and is also valued at the same amount.

The news was broken by Sky Sports Darmesh Sheth, and has been backed up by Fabrizio Romano. This follows conformation of advanced negotiations with Ajax over the transfer of Edson Alvarez.

West Ham in £30M Man United bid for Maguire

Having started very slowly, the transfer window now appears to be picking up pace. Gianluca Scamacca’s departure has been confirmed by West Ham, which surely means a new striker is also on the radar.

Sky reporter Sheth announced via his Twitter account (or whatever it’s called theses days), that West Ham are yet to confirm whether Maguire was prepared to move to East London.

Certainly the transfer double swoop has the hallmarks of David Moyes written all over it.
