Man Utd fans beg Chelsea to take struggling captain Maguire amid shock interest

Chelsea and Manchester United fans have been sharing their respective horror and joy at news of a potential move to Stamford Bridge for Red Devils captain Harry Maguire.

Sportsmail reported on Friday that Chelsea had enquired about the England defender and suggested he could be part of a swap deal that would see Christian Pulisic headed to Old Trafford.

There have been questions raised over Maguire's future at United after his performances in United's opening two Premier League games, with the club currently sitting bottom of the table.

'Sack Tuchel right now and I will never support todd Boehly if this ever happens', tweeted one alarmed Chelsea fan.

Another shared their sentiments, questioning 'why on earth would we do that to ourselves.'

Some Blues fans stood up for Maguire, commenting: 'He’s not even bad. He’s actually really good there’s just a disgusting agenda against him,' and 'he's a good player I just' don't think we need him.'

United fans seemed much more chipper at the possibility of losing their captain.

One particularly excited supporter tweeted: 'Buy him! Take him for free! Anything to get him out of Old Trafford!'

Others called for a 'no returns' policy on the centre back and suggested they 'give then [Scott] McTominay as Add-ons.'

Even the Red Devils fans who rated Maguire highly seemed unfussed about the prospect of him leaving, with one commenting: 'Chelsea want Harry Maguire? Not surprised.

'Always knew he's a top defender just wasting at Man Utd. Think Chelsea should move quickly before Barcelona hijack the deal.'

Manchester United will be looking to get their first points of the Premier League campaign when they take on Liverpool on Monday.

Maguire's place for the game is understood to be under threat from Raphael Varane.
