Harry Maguire would be a 'great signing' for Newcastle United as the out-of-favour Manchester United looks set for a summer exit. That is the view of former Liverpool and Magpies winger John Barnes, who can not see a way back for the England international at Old Trafford.
Maguire has fallen down the pecking order at the Red Devils, with Erik ten Hag preferring summer signing Lisandro Martinez as Raphael Varane's defensive partner. The former Leicester City centre-back still has two years left to run on his contract, but reports suggest a transfer in the upcoming window seems inevitable.
Newcastle boasted the joint-best defensive record in the Premier League, with Fabian Schar and Sven Botman forging an impressive partnership. However, Barnes feels Maguire's performances for England proves he could still offer plenty to Eddie Howe as he looks to build a squad capable of competing on four fronts next season.
