MU agrees to sell Maguire to West Ham
According to The Athletic, MU has agreed to sell centre-back Harry Maguire to West Ham for a much lower price than expected.
The England international has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford after a dip in form last season. Manager Erik ten Hag favours Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane as centre-backs, meaning Maguire has started just eight Premier League games in 2022/23.
Haaland - Alvarez, the "duo" worth waiting for of Man City
Ahead of the 2023/24 season, Man City has recruited a number of high-profile recruits such as Mateo Kovacic or Josko Gvardiol, but they have yet to strengthen their front line with any new strikers. However, Man City's destructive power promises to be very strong thanks to coach Pep Guardiola's flexible use of players.
Through the personnel arrangement of coach Guardiola, it can be seen that the Man City captain no longer sees Alvarez as a luxury reserve. When coach Guardiola let Alvarez play the whole match, it is very likely that he has started a plan for the 2022 World Cup champion to continuously accompany Haaland in the Man City attack.
