"important squad member" lol ... yeah, sure. Meanwhile, his stance is he's settled and happy at the club, and reports of him joining West Ham were premature.
Translation: he wanted a significant payoff from United, given that he was to take a paycut at West Ham. United didn't want to pay him that much, and West Ham eventually got fed up with the lack of progress and pulled the plug. In the end, everybody loses. United can't shift a player that's no longer needed, Maguire will be Uniteds 4th choice CB at best and might have to kiss the Euros goodbye (maybe, who knows with Southgate). ####ing sucks all around.
