Although Maguire's performances in 2025/26 were impressive, he was surprisingly left out of Thomas Tuchel's World Cup squad. A more significant blow, however, may be the news that Manchester United has considered making him available to Inter, despite signing a contract extension just recently.

According to sources, intermediaries have offered Maguire to Inter, despite his commitment to Manchester United until the end of the 2026/27 season. This move may be motivated by the desire to sell him before losing him for a lower fee in January or on a free transfer next summer.

Given Maguire's importance to the squad, it seems unusual for Manchester United to consider selling him now. His contributions, including a crucial intervention at Anfield, have been significant. It's worth noting that Maguire had previously been deemed surplus to requirements under Erik ten Hag, with a deal agreed with West Ham.

However, Maguire chose to stay and prove himself, demonstrating confidence in his abilities. While other centre-backs have had their moments, Maguire has been arguably Manchester United's most reliable option, with impressive numbers in the recent season.

Maguire's decision to stay and fight for his place back at Manchester United shows bravery and determination. His commitment to his craft and the team is undeniable, making it puzzling for the club to consider selling him now.
