meh i think you are undervaluing finances for some teams. If he takes a small pay cut those teams would be able to afford him. Premier league teams on the whole are pretty well off for cash now with the amount of money pouring in.
How do we sell Harry Maguire?

When ETH arrives what I don't want to see is the usual PR guff we get early into a manager's reign.
For example... "club sources" state that the Manager has been "pleasantly surprised" at the progress made by /commitment shown by player______ and that he can be remodeled into a ________ role for the club.
This treatment will be doled out to any player we have massively overpaid for or overcommitted to in terms of contract so expect it to be applied to any of the following if we can't offload them.
Maguire -----> Defensive Midfielder
Maguire -----> deep lying playmaker
AWB -----------> Third centre back
AWB -----------> defensive midfielder
Martial -------> Lone Striker
Martial -------> inverted right winger
It's all guff of course, but it's the sort of bull that Woodward used to send out to give the impression of a well run ship, when in reality we have lurched from iceberg to iceberg in crisis mode.
Players being quickly and silently moved on will be a sign of progress.

Unthinkable. I would even take the nuclear option and come to an agreement to terminate his contract by mutual consent. It won't come to that, some team would take him......perhaps. I'm not bothered by fee, just his massive wages and his massive head out of the club. We must make significant improvements in the squad; he isn't the only one who needs booting out the door.
I really don’t get your thought process sorry, he will not take a pay cut for a move. City, Chelsea, Arsenal or us wont be interested in Maguire. No other club are going to pay a CB £200k a week.
IF he moves United will be topping up the wages, I still don’t think he will go willingly, playing for United is to much for his ego. Just listen to his latest comments on bing picked game after game.
Lets look at the possibilities.
Leicester’s top earner is Vardy on £170k
West Ham’s top earner is Zouma on £120k

Cash plus player deal for Kane or Son
Take them both just give us the fridge!
Selling him might be the best and easiest way for people in charge of the club to show they're serious about making a changes.
Getting someone to buy him though.... that's not something that's in the club's hands.
Can we just take him somewhere and let him loose? Somewhere really far. 
Newcastle will be looking to splash the cash this summer.
Some lower mid table or championship team with reasonably deep pockets will snap him up.
Drop him off at Argos. I believe they accept free returns.

Harry has gone to live on the country farm. If only we could get so lucky
A Championship side assuming his 190 a week !!!
That aint' ever happening.
We should really try our luck with Newcastle. They should have some money to burn.
The club need to make a big statement by selling Maguire.
It's not acceptable to be on top salary and yet perform so badly the entire season like a league 1 CB.

I hate to pile on but part of me feels like until we get him out of the club he will be an albatross because of his high wages and high profile (just in that he's very well known).
We need Ten Haag to tell him he is not in his plan, so either he can rot in reserve, or take a pay cut and move elsewhere.
Send him a free holiday ticket to Greece where he will enjoy luxury everything for 14 days. Profit. He is now in Jail.
If we can’t sell Maguire, the manager has to have the backing of the club to put him on the rotation behind two proper CBs. As a third or fourth choice CB, Maguire would be an asset for the squad. If he moans, then he can train with the reserves.
Yeah it has to be Newcastle. They’ll panic when Botman joins Milan and no one else fancies the project. Or Inter, we seem to be able to sell
them the overpaid donkey dream, and Maguire may fancy escaping to a slower league.

I don't see Newcastle spending crazy money on other teams mistakes. I'm assuming that Eddie Howe will have a degree of input into the clubs business this Summer & I don't see him thinking Maguire would help. Any manager or DOF would be putting his job on the line if he made that deal.
All depends on his contract and how long their is left.
I think Maguire would be a good signing for teams that defend deep and are not in the spot light every week.

This signing has really bombed on us....it cost us a bomb and now we have a defused inert bomb in our hands. There's just no bombing our way out of this.
We don't. He should be just one of the CDs and earn his place.
Not impressed, you can do better than this. It's not ffunny making a joke out of someone else's misery.
No shit, we've been saying this all season, and not only the back line, he isn't fit to lead anything.
Are you saying his joke bombed?
Our club is a bit slow and behind. Next summer, they realize he is slow too
Newcastle is always an option, reckon he'd do well for them.
One thing is for sure, he'll be wanting out of the club asap after some lunatic threatened to blow his house up.
His family were abolutely terrified by all accounts.
Give it a rest, mate.
I have no idea who this specific journalist is, but it feels like it's a free for all with Man Utd related stories at the moment. This could just be made up, and the timing is strange given that there is new manager and coaching team coming in. Even if they are following along, I doubt they have a firm opinion on Maguire yet.
What does the leader of the backline even mean?
Does she mean captaincy? Maguire starting regularly? Being part of the long term plans?

It's probably unrelated to Ten Hag, but Melissa Reddy is usually good and doesn't tend to just spout nonsense for clicks. Think she's usually been a "tier 1" type for Liverpool in the past, though I feel like she got a different role and covers more clubs now.
To many teams and managers, Maguire will still be seen as a major player within the national team and an update on their current roster: Although I agree regarding Howe, I still think Newcastle fall into this category.
Problem is of course, no one is spending anything like a decent amount on him.
Be nice to act like a big club and just freeze him out. It's now a surprise at Chelsea when Lukaku starts same should go for the fridge. Squad player, bench filler, defensive injury crisis only is what he should be used as. We're lumbered with him.
I think he's finished at the club. His situation reminds me of Karius at Liverpool after that final. I can't see him coming back from this season.
These clubs are already forking out top wages, financials are strong for these clubs. Villa pay Ings 120k a week, Everton pay Yerry Mina 120k a week, West Ham pay Zouma 125k a week. Palace pay Zaha 130k a week, 120k a week to Benteke, Leicester pay Schmeichel 130k a week, Vardy 140k a week... You get the gist.
Maguire won't be making £190k a week elsewhere, but these mid-table clubs can pay 80% of the wages for likes of him and Rashford who's on 200k a week. Rest can either be a pay cut or subsidized by us. This is without considering Newcastle who'll have deeper pockets than anybody else. Main issue when it comes to moving these players, would be convincing them to move not that there would be any suitors capable of paying them.
exactly what i was trying to say. Most PL teams have the money to get maguire if they wanted to. im sure there are creative ways to if they can get him to restructure and maybe add in different bonuses or something.
We dont sell Maguire now! He has a hell of a job to do in the summer getting back on the horse. If he can’t do it, he should be sold. This season has been terrible. But it has for most players. For Harry it crunch time and getting back in.
