Signed Harry Maguire in 2019 as the most expensive defender in history, he is not having a positive moment at Manchester United and should leave the club at the end of the current season. With the erratic performance, the player was criticized by the fans, as well as the British press. Thus, United’s management is already looking for ways to get rid of Maguire and has focused on Antonio Rudiger, who is expiring his contract with Chelsea next June.
According to information published by the English newspaper “Mirror”, the German defender is one of Ralf Rangnick’s most important dreams. The manager is a fan of Rudiger and will try to persuade Manchester United to invest in his signature, despite the fierce competition expected to arise during the upcoming transfer window.
Rudiger is nearing the end of his contract and has not yet reached an agreement with Chelsea, although his stay at the London club has not been ruled out. One of the clubs interested in the German defender is Real Madrid, which is already moving in this direction and should seek in the coming months an agreement with Rudiger’s representatives.
At Manchester United, the expectation is that the arrival of a defender with the qualities of a German will be key to improving the team’s defensive system. The English were already suffering in this sector and it was precisely the arrival of Frenchman Raphael Varane to try to organize the team’s defence. However, Varane has not yet achieved much fame.
After a good spell with Real Madrid, the player, who was the world champion with France in 2018, had some problems with injuries in his early days with Manchester United, which forced him to leave. Varane has already recovered, still not showing on the field all the investments that were made in his appointment.
Coach Ralf Rangnick, who will not remain in his position next season, was concerned about the defensive system and wanted to leave a team with better options in this sector for the future coach. In this sense, Maguire’s departure with the arrival of Rudiger is an alternative considered increasingly important and urgent.
