Manchester United should offload Harry Maguire and pursue an obstacle-laden deal for Matthijs de Ligt, says Louis Saha.
Since his blockbuster £80million move from Leicester in 2019, Maguire hasn’t hit the heights he promised for United. Injuries and poor form have since seen him fall out of favour at Old Trafford.
Maguire was intent on staying and fighting his place under Erik ten Hag last summer when a £30m move to West Ham neared completion, and with his contract expiring next year, his time at United could come to an end soon.
Saha believes that when Maguire is given a new lease, De Ligt should be the target. However, a deal for the Dutchman is in doubt after Bayern Munich halted their attempts to sign a replacement.

“Fresh start will be the best for Harry Maguire,” Saha told csdb.gg. “With Maguire, we know his situation, and it hasn’t been easy. Sometimes, a fresh start is what players need. It could be the best for everybody in this situation.”
West Ham could return for Maguire, but have already brought in Max Kilman this window, while OGC Nice’s £34m-man Jean-Clair Todibo is also tipped to arrive. A deal seems unlikely, and Maguire could be forced to run down his current deal and depart next summer for free.

“De Ligt can play that [Maguire’s] role,” Saha added. “He is a confident player and a leader in his own right. But he has struggled to maintain his form for the years since leaving Ajax.
“Having said that, I think the Premier League is a good fit for him and it will provide him that extra motivation to get back to his very best. There is also the surprise element of having him come from abroad so strikers might not know how to play against him.”

Harry Maguire reacts to increased Man Utd competition after Matthijs de Ligt signing
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire remains hopeful of playing plenty of games this season, despite centre-back competition from new arrival Matthijs de Ligt.
Maguire, who missed the FA Cup final and Euro 2024 after failing to overcome a calf injury, has started each of United’s first two games of the 2024/25 campaign. In Friday night’s Premier League opener, he got the nod to start alongside Lisandro Martinez ahead of De Ligt.

Many fans expect a combination of Martinez and De Ligt, both Erik ten Hag’s former players at Ajax, will become the preferred centre-back partnership. The dynamic will change again once teenage prodigy Leny Yoro recovers from a foot injury in November.
But with United aiming to go far in the Europa League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup on top of 38 Premier League games, Maguire is confident the demands warrant a big squad of players.
“There’s so many games this season. I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of changes to come, game to game, in the starting XI,” Maguire explained in an interview with club media. “And when your turn is upon you, you need to take your chance. And yeah, it’s one that we’ll need a big squad for.”
Regarding his own condition after missing plenty of football last season and coming off less than an hour into the Community Shield, he added: “I feel good, I feel fit. Physically and mentally, I’m in a good place and, yeah, I’m looking forward to a big season.”
De Ligt replaced Maguire for the final ten minutes of the narrow win over Fulham, with Jonny Evans also brought on for new full-back Noussair Mazraoui, and Martinez finishing the game at left-back. Fellow centre-back Victor Lindelof remains sidelined through injury and was seen using a crutch in a recent social media post by his wife, cap
tioned: “Doing everything in slow motion these days”.
