The future looks bright for Manchester United, and many fans are excited about how Erik Ten Hag has shaped the squad since becoming the club’s permanent manager last summer. The Dutchman brought several players like Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, and Tyrell Malacia to Old Trafford in his first season, and his second summer window has been almost as exciting as his first.
What’s most exciting about Erik Ten Hag is how he has managed to offload fringe players, like when the club backed him to terminate Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract last November following his fall-out with the manager. Harry Maguire may be next in line as he prepares to move away from United this summer.
Benjamin Pavard reportedly wants Manchester United transfer
Manchester United have had a strong transfer window, signing the likes of Mason Mount, Andre Onana, and Rasmus Hojlund from Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Atalanta, respectively. These signings don’t seem to be the end as United continues to be linked with several other players, especially with some outgoing transfers expected this week.
Harry Maguire, Fred, Scott McTominay, and Donny van de Beek are reportedly preparing to move on from their United careers to play elsewhere as they’ve been deemed surplus to requirements by Erik Ten Hag. If these players move on, new players will be signed to replace them, and Benjamin Pavard has been linked to replace Harry Maguire as a center-back at Old Trafford.

According to reports, the Frenchman wants to leave Bayern Munich and is excited about playing in the Premier League for Manchester United, a club he admires. However, other reports also suggest that Ten Hag will choose between two other options: Todibo and Tapsoba.
The Dutchman apparently prioritizes Pavard and Todibo, and talks could begin as soon as Harry Maguire completes his much-anticipated move away from the club.
Harry Maguire transfer update
Harry Maguire’s transfer away from Manchester United has been several months in the making, and it could be finalized before the end of the week. The Englishman has long been the team’s scapegoat, unwillingly taking the blame for pretty much everything that goes wrong on the field, and his lack of confidence and constant errors haven’t helped the team either.
