Harry Maguire may not have experienced much love last season but he’s certainly felt it over the past couple of days. Having tied the knot in a lavish wedding ceremony with long-time partner Fern in a French chateau this weekend, he has jetted off on his honeymoon amid a swirl of rumours that Barcelona want a piece of him.
Yes, according to hot air blowing over from Spain to England, the Catalan club want the big centre-back as part of any deal for Frenkie de Jong … but Manchester United love their error-prone meme so much they have told Barça manager Xavi to keep his hands off their man. All this means that Barça’s midfield’s metronome De Jong will cost United the full price of £69m, with the club still in the driving seat to sign him. Reports that Phil Jones is next on Xavi’s wishlist are so far not forthcoming.
