The England defender's current contract expires at the end of the season, making him eligible to negotiate with other clubs in January.

However, Maguire has confirmed that discussions are underway with United's management regarding a contract extension.

What Maguire said

Maguire expressed optimism about the negotiations and his future under new manager Ruben Amorim.

"Listen, I haven't really thought about it. I've still got this year to go, with an option in their hands. But, yeah, talks are ongoing and all the signs are positive at the moment. The chat that I'm having is really positive," he said per Daily Star.

Maguire had previously sought to leave United in the past two summer transfer windows due to a strained relationship with former manager Erik ten Hag.

He was close to joining West Ham United in the summer of 2023, but the transfer fell through due to disagreements over a settlement with United.  

Maguire joined Manchester United from Leicester City in 2019 for a record-breaking £80 million fee, making him the most expensive defender in world football at the time.

He has earned 64 caps for England, although he missed this 2024 European Championships due to injury.
