The centre-back is open to reducing his wages to remain at the club.
Harry Maguire is not thinking about leaving Old Trafford in the future. The English defender is reportedly eager to complete his career at Manchester United—as long as the team offers him the opportunity.
According to the same source, the England international is even willing to forgo a sizable part of his income in order to continue his journey with the Red Devils.
Harry Maguire apparently feels “more confident than ever” after going through some extremely difficult times that were characterised by criticism and a loss of confidence. This attitude shift might enable him to solidly regain his standing in Manchester.
Maguire’s contract expires at the end of the current campaign, and as he turns 33 in March, no new offer has been made.
Harry Maguire is ready to reduce his salary to remain at United
With a weekly salary of about £200,000, the English centre-back is one of United’s biggest earners and has a slim chance of returning to the Three Lions squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Harry Maguire has started all three of the team’s games against Manchester City, Arsenal, and Fulham since Ruben Amorim was fired and Michael Carrick was brought in.

The player is aggressively prioritising a new contract over interest from other teams.According to the i Paper, the defender is even prepared to accept a 40% wage reduction in order to assist negotiations as he seeks an extension worth £120,000 per week, which would be an £80,000 reduction from his present terms.With this cut, Harry Maguire would no longer be a surefire starter, more in keeping with his status as an elder statesman in the team.
