539 appearances between them: Man Utd duo’s futures to be assessed as transfer priorities emerge

Manchester United are reportedly set to assess the futures of Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw as their transfer priorities have emerged.

The Red Devils focused on changing up their attack this summer, bringing in a new front three of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko.

Meanwhile, big names such as Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Antony all left Old Trafford.

Now the focus will move to midfield and defence, according to a report from TEAMtalk, who state that Maguire and Shaw will be assessed in the months to come.

The defensive duo have 539 Man Utd appearances between them, but it might be time for the club to move on from them and continue rebuilding at the back.

Manchester United eye defensive signings in the near future

The report from TEAMtalk states that United are now set to make midfield and defence their priorities in the transfer market in the near future.

It could be that Maguire and Shaw will still have important roles to play, but at the same time they may perhaps be under some pressure to prove themselves.

Neither have been particularly reliable for a variety of reasons, and it would probably make sense for Ruben Amorim to continue to change things up in every area of his squad.

There are talented young defenders like Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven at United, and it would probably be wise to build around them and bring in further signings of top talents to develop alongside them.

Still, it might also be that Amorim will value the experience that Maguire and Shaw bring, with these long-serving players surely able to bring a good degree of wisdom and support to the club’s young players in the dressing room.

Maguire recently spoke out publicly about United rejecting approaches for him this summer.
