Erik ten Hag 'decides to sell Maguire and Fred' and more Manchester United transfer rumours

Leicester City are reportedly interested in re-signing Manchester United centre-back Harry Maguire, with the Reds said to be open to letting their captain leave the club.

According to journalist Rudy Galetti, the 29-year-old is attracting interest from the Foxes and two other unnamed clubs, with the report also claiming that United will allow Maguire to leave for a fee in the region of €30million.

Maguire has endured a difficult campaign with the Reds so far this term and has made just nine appearances for Erik ten Hag's side, including just five starts in all competitions.

The England international made 76 appearances for Leicester before making the move to Old Trafford in 2019, where he has gone on to feature on more than 150 occasions.

The Guardian also reports that United will look to sell Maguire, while Fred will also be released when his contract expires in the summer.

Elsewhere, Bayern Munich right-back Benjamin Pavard has admitted that he could leave Bayern Munich amid reported interest from United.

The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent seasons and appears set to leave the German giants when his contract expires in 2024. The Frenchman is yet to agree a new deal at the Allianz Arena, with speculation regarding his future increasing ahead of the January transfer window.

Asked by L’Equipe whether there had been talks over a new deal with Bayern, Pavard said: "No, there were no specific discussions. For now, I'm focused on the World Cup, on being the best I can be at a very big club, one of the best in the world. I have immense respect for Bayern, I learned there the requirement of a very high level and it is an honour to wear this shirt.

"Afterwards, I have been in Germany for seven years, I have won everything with the club. I'm not against discovering a new project. Maybe now is the time. Why not discover a new country, a new culture? But the sports project must be interesting."
