Since Ten Hag arrived, Maguire has started to become an alternative choice due to inconsistent performances and often making fatal mistakes. Currently Ten Hag has also moved the captaincy, he has been captain for almost 3.5 years. Perhaps this decision made Maguire disappointed. So many rumors circulated Maguire was preparing to leave Man United. Reportedly there are many clubs interested in owning him, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham, and Newcastle United. Serie A clubs Inter Milan and Al Hilal could also be new destination options for Maguire. United label Maguire with a price tag of 50 million pounds
With the speed of Maguire, he will be more matched with Serie A style but he is too naive and will be easily beaten by very tricky players in Italy. Moving to Saudi Arabia sounds good as I believe no big clubs in Europe want to buy Maguire. He only deserves to play at average clubs, not big ones.
Taking the armband away from him was a tough one. Inevitably, there will be sympathy for Maguire in losing the captaincy too. But Ten Hag deserves credit for this tightrope walk. Looking at it, it’s evident that Maguire Manchester United career has not benefited him or the club and I'm sympathetic towards his situation...I hope he leaves to a mid table club where he can get consistent game time so he can find happiness again.
Tough decision, I don't think it is. Maguire did not have chance to play for Manchester United too much in the last season and he had bad performances for them when he was given chances. In this summer, Ten Hag did not have plan to use Maguire in future so the player future is very bad. He even will have to find another club if he does not want to bury his career in Manchester United.
Reasonably you can not assign the club's captain arm band to a player who has very limited appearances for your club. It's weird as a captain must be an important player, an vital piece in your squad, which is not what Maguire has in the club now.
