Manchester United broke the bank in 2019 to make Harry Maguire the most expensive defender in the game’s history. A decision they should now deeply regret.
The Manchester United fans expected the England international to be as good as Van Dijk has been at Anfield. However, the club captain has been completely mediocre during the last 12 months.
Somehow, he still has the armband and with that, he put in terrible performances against Brighton and Brentford.
Fortunately and shockingly, Chelsea is looking to hire the services of Maguire. Not only that, The Mail claim that the Blues are prepared to sell Christian Pulisic to Manchester United in a swap deal.
The American international has been linked with a move to Old Trafford lately as Ten Hag looks to bolster his attack.
In his first season in England, Pulisic featured in 34 games under the management of Frank Lampard and directly contributed to 21 goals (11 goals and 10 assists). He was a key player under the current Everton boss.
However, with Thomas Tuchel in charge at Chelsea, the scenario is quite different. He was out until October of last season due to an ankle injury, although he has only started twelve Premier League games since returning to fitness.
So far this season, the former Borussia Dortmund playmaker has yet to start for the Stamford Bridge team and has played 31 minutes in the first two Premier League games.
The £145,000-a-week star (Goal) can play everywhere in the offensive, and we should exchange Maguire for the 23-year-old, in my opinion. Varane should play with Martinez in central defense. What are your thoughts?
