Harry Maguire takes pay cut to sign new contract with MU

Harry Maguire hopes to sign a new contract with the Manchester club later this year, accepting a pay cut to £140,000 a week.

At 32, Maguire is entering the final year of his contract at Old Trafford, but discussions over a new deal are underway.

Earlier this year, the Red Devils' leadership activated the automatic 12-month extension clause at the request of coach Ruben Amorim.

The Portuguese coach highly appreciates Maguire's role in the Red Devils' defense, especially in his ability to command and counter high balls.

Maguire was handed the captain's armband against Grimsby in August, his first return to the role since being stripped by Ten Hag in July 2023.

In the new contract that MU is negotiating, Maguire is willing to reduce his salary by 25%, from 190,000 pounds/week to 140,000 pounds/week.

This is the key point that can help the former Leicester defender continue to stick with the Red Devils. Maguire himself does not want to change the playing environment at the end of his career.

He has remained a reliable stopper in the Red Devils' defence since his £30m move to West Ham fell through.

Harry Maguire is currently the oldest defender at MU. However, he has played 38/50 matches since coach Ruben Amorim took over.
