Manchester United have decided to reject approaches from five clubs for their defender Harry Maguire this summer, according to reports.
Three teams in the Premier League and two from Italy have made offers to sign the England international centre-back ahead of the 2025-26 season.
Maguire’s current contract is due to expire next summer – and while talks have not yet taken place over an extension – United are keen to keep him.
That’s according to the Daily Mail, who also report that Maguire has no desire to leave Old Trafford and sees his long-term future at the club.
Maguire turns 33 in March but wishes to spend the rest of his career with United and wants to emulate the likes of Denis Irwin and Steve Bruce.

Which clubs want to sign Harry Maguire?
Should United change their minds and decide to offload Maguire, there are a number of other clubs – in addition to the five teams that made offers this summer – who want to recruit him.
Turkish side Galatasaray are known to be admirers of Maguire, who has also attracted interest from French duo Monaco and Marseille.
It’s also thought that Fenerbahce and Besiktas could offer escapes if Maguire changed his own mind.
Harry Maguire put in six-man leadership group
Maguire used to be United’s skipper but was stripped of the captaincy by former head coach Erik ten Hag.
He came close to joining West Ham two years ago but has enjoyed somewhat of a resurgence under current United boss Ruben Amorim.
Maguire was recently put in a new six-man leadership group at Old Trafford by Amorim ahead of the upcoming campaign.
”We have a leadership group now,’ Amorim said. ‘It’s not just Bruno, it’s not just Harry, it’s six guys now.
‘They are responsible for the group. There are some things that in the last year I had to deal with that.
‘I said to them in this year, you deal with that. Small issues are with you guys.
‘You are responsible. All these small changes, I think it’s helping the group.
‘We have Bruno, we have Licha, we have Harry, we have Diogo, we have Tom and we have Nous. So it’s not just the oldest ones.
‘Nous is in the group because he’s a character that I like. And I try to understand the dynamic of the group and try to reach every space.
‘They are the guys that are responsible to keep everyone in line.’
