Paul Parker: 'Man United should look to sell Harry Maguire'

Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker says that the Red Devils should attempt to sell Harry Maguire this summer.

Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has said that the Red Devils should attempt to offload club captain Harry Maguire during this summer's transfer window.

The England international has struggled for form during the 2021-22 campaign, with his performances being called into question by fans, pundits and former Man United players.

The 20-time English champions paid £80m to sign the 28-year-old from Leicester City in 2019, and Parker has said that an offer of "somewhere near" that figure would have to be considered.

"If United, in my opinion, were to get somewhere near to their money back on Harry Maguire, I think they'll have to think about it," he told The Express.

"I think [Victor] Lindelof and [Raphael] Varane, you know, they could build something on there maybe, in a mode of what they're looking for and where the club wants to be.

"You're talking about players who are definitely more agile, a little bit quicker, better defenders in one against one situations and I think you have to look at it that way. Me, personally, for United to go forward, that's the starting area."

Maguire still has more than three years left to run on his contract with the 20-time English champions, who are back in action against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.
