The Daily Mail reported that defender Harry Maguire is close to signing a new contract with Manchester United, noting that his contract with the Red Devils ends at the end of the current season.

According to the newspaper, the veteran English defender currently earns £180,000 per week, and he is expected to renew his contract with the Red Devils at the same salary.

The club is expected to make an offer to Maguire after he proved himself as a key player under the leadership of the new coach Michael Carrick, with optimism about reaching an agreement that satisfies both parties regarding the salary and the length of the contract.

This move reflects Manchester United's desire to maintain stability in their defense and boost confidence within the team after a phase of defensive challenges.
