Français (Afrique)Harry Maguire: David Beckham wanted United star at Inter Miami
Manchester United have agreed a new contract with Harry Maguire, marking a remarkable turnaround in the fortunes of the player.
He was close to being sold under Erik ten Hag, with the Red Devils even agreeing a fee with West Ham, only for wage issues to scupper the deal.
The Dutch manager had even stripped the Englishman of the club captaincy, but Maguire persevered and is now the first name on the team sheet under Michael Carrick.
The former Leicester City star had offers to leave in January, only for the caretaker head coach to block all exit routes.
Harry Maguire, a man in demand
Saudi Pro League sides were also sniffing about, but the new one-year deal, which also includes an option to extend it by a year, now means the England international is going nowhere in the summer.
Interestingly, The Sun have added that United legend and Inter Miami owner Sir David Beckham was keen on bringing the centre-back to the MLS.
They did contact the 33-year-old’s camp but Harry Maguire wants to retire at United, and subsequently work on his coaching badges at Old Trafford.
“HARRY MAGUIRE snubbed Sir David Beckham’s offer of a mega-money Inter Miami move and wants to finish his career at Manchester United.
Harry Maguire wants to stay at United for the rest of his career
“The England defender, 33, was due to become a free agent in the summer but has extended his Red Devils contract by one year, with an option for a further 12 months.
“His form led to interest from MLS side Inter Miami, co-owned by United and England legend Beckham, and Italian champions Napoli. Maguire wants to complete his coaching badges at United.”
His experience and quality would have been difficult to replace in the summer, especially with the 20-time English league champions needing reinforcements in the middle of the park and out wide.
United will be without Harry Maguire when they return to Premier League action on Monday against fierce rivals Leeds after the defender was sent off in the 2-2 draw at Bournemouth last month.
The former United skipper has also been charged with improper conduct after a run-in with the fourth official during the clash at the Vitality Stadium.

🤔 Injury-hit last season, VfB star's future still unclear
His contract with VfB Stuttgart only runs until the summer. For many, it was surprising anyway that midfielder Nikolas Nartey had been handed another contract by the Swabians last year.
Above all, numerous injuries kept sidelining the 26-year-old time and again. As a result, he spent only 21 minutes on the pitch last season.
By now, however, he has developed so well that, according to many observers, he certainly has what it takes to become a regular starter for the Swabians.
Against Augsburg, the Dane scored, netting his third goal of the season.
According to a report by ‘Sport Bild’, Nartey is expected to stay with the cup winners, but the two sides have not yet reached an agreement on a contract extension.
According to the report, the club is optimistic that such an agreement can ultimately be reached.
The biggest sticking point, as so often, is reportedly money. While the midfielder currently has a heavily performance-based contract, the player’s side would like to move away from that in the future.
The next few weeks will likely determine whether VfB Stuttgart ultimately gives in to this demand.

Carolina Hurricanes Lose Jalen Chatfield to Injury: Everything We Know
In Tuesday’s game against the Boston Bruins, the Carolina Hurricanes’ top-pairing defenseman, Jalen Chatfield, left the game due to a lower-body injury.
With just under five minutes played in the third period, Chatfield departed after a short, 22-second shift – a shift that ended early due to a power play drawn by Nikolaj Ehlers. Soon after, he was officially ruled out.
Throughout the game, Chatfield did not block any shots and only received one registered hit, which was dealt by Alex Steeves and occurred in the early second period. There didn’t appear to be any notable stumbles from the Hurricanes blueliner in the nearly 14 minutes he played.
After the game, Rod Brind’Amour was asked if he had an update on the status of Chatfield.
“I don’t really have anything,” he said. “That’s the problem, not the problem – everyone’s got to deal with it. But, you know, you worry this time of year going into these games, it’s tough. So, I don’t know. I won’t have an update, though.”
The absence of any player due to injury is not something any team would want, especially so close to the postseason. However, it is an even bigger blow considering the role Chatfield has played for the Hurricanes this season, becoming half of the top-pairing alongside Jaccob Slavin after Brent Burns’ departure over the summer.
Only time will tell whether he’ll be back in the lineup for any of the games down the stretch.
