David Moyes’s West Ham United are trying to sign Harry Maguire as well as Scott McTominay from Manchester United, according to a report.
The Times is reporting that West Ham United want to sign Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay from Premier League rivals Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
The report has claimed that the Hammers have offered the Red Devils £20 million for Maguire.
Manchester United have turned it down.
The Hammers have also “made a verbal offer” for McTominay.
The Red Devils want as much as £45 million for the Scotland international and have rejected West Ham’s offer for him as well, according to the report.
West Ham United could still sign Manchester United duo Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay
In our opinion, West Ham United could be able to sign both Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay from Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
It is rare that a club’s opening bid for any player is accepted.
The Hammers now know what it would take for the Red Devils to sell England international central defender Maguire and Scotland international midfielder McTominay.
Perhaps West Ham will come again with new bids.
While Maguire is certainly worth more than the £20 million that the Hammers have bid for him, we do not think that McTominay is worth £45 million.
We do not think that any club will pay that much for a player who struggled to pay regularly in the first team at Manchester United last season.
McTominay made 10 starts and 14 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Erik ten Hag’s side last season.
The 26-year-old midfielder scored one goal in those games.
Manchester United will play in the UEFA Champions League next season after finishing in the top four of the Premier League table last campaign.
