Man Utd defender Maguire sets record on West Ham move failure

England centre back Harry Maguire has clarified speculation about his club future.

The Manchester United stopper has dismissed claims he could have left for another Premier League side in the summer.

Maguire refuted rumors that he turned down a move to West Ham due to wage demands.

The United defender told a press conference: "Regular game time is really important to me, it has been throughout my career.

“The actual opportunity to go to West Ham wasn't agreed really between both clubs and myself. So it wasn't just my chance to say 'Yes and I'm going'.

“It wasn't agreed between both clubs so the actual opportunity wasn't there because we didn't get far enough down the line with it.

“But West Ham is a massive club. But like I said my full focus is still on Manchester United, I want to fight for my place but of course regular game time is really important to me."
