On August 21, Manchester United centre-back Maguire confirmed that the club has officially rejected the intention of other teams to buy him during this summer transfer, but at the same time said that the possibility of leaving the team in the winter transfer window is not ruled out.

Maguire, 32, has only one year left in his contract with Manchester United and has not yet reached a renewal agreement. According to previous reports, a total of five clubs (including three Premier League teams and two Serie A teams) have tried to sign the England international this summer. Although Maguire did not disclose the specific club name, he clearly stated that he had received substantial transfer interest, but Manchester United management firmly rejected all inquiries.

"The club has made it clear that it will not approve my departure this summer under any conditions. "Maguire told the media at a public event held by the Manchester United Foundation, "In the next few months, the club will need to have a formal dialogue with us on future developments, whether it is discussing renewal or waiting for possible changes after the January transfer window is opened. "

"I have clear ideas about my career plan, but the specific details are not convenient to be disclosed. It must be admitted that playing for Manchester United is an honor and no player will give up easily. "If the two sides still do not reach a new agreement before January next year, Maguire will enter the last half of the contract by then, and his decision to stay or leave will likely depend on the playing time in the first half of the season.

In the first round of the new season against Arsenal, Maguire failed to get the starting position. Head coach Amorin chose to use De Ligt as the core of the three-center-back system, and Maguire only got the chance to make a substitute in the last ten minutes of the game. Nevertheless, the England international remains optimistic about his chances of playing this season.

"I am sure I will get a lot of playing time this season, many of which will be the starter," Maguire emphasized. "The coach is now facing sweet troubles, and every position in the lineup has a high level of competition. Although I mainly compete with De Ligt for the middle position, we are all competent on the left and right sides of the three-center-back system, which I have proven through the game. This kind of healthy competition is crucial to the development of the team. "
