West Ham have an agreement in principle with Manchester United to sign defender Harry Maguire in a deal worth in the region of £30m.
According to Sky Sports, personal terms are not expected to be a problem but there is still work to do on the details of his exit from United. West Ham, though, are cautiously optimistic about completing the signing having had a £20m bid for the England international rejected last month.
Maguire trained with Man Utd on Wednesday morning ahead of their Premier League opener against Wolves on Monday. Maguire, 30, struggled for first-team opportunities at Old Trafford last season and has been stripped of the captaincy this season.

Maguire joined United in August 2019 for a world record £80m for a defender. He made 30 appearances for United last season but only made eight league starts. He had potentially slipped down to fifth-choice central defender at Old Trafford, with Lisandro Martinez, Rafael Varane, Victor Lindelof, and Luke Shaw ahead of him.
Despite his struggles at Manchester United, Maguire has been a regular for England under Gareth Southgate, starting all five games at the 2022 World Cup.
