Man United star tipped for shock move to Saudi Pro League image

Several Manchester United players have already been linked with moves away, with Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes both wanted in the Saudi Pro League. 

Casemiro is likely to leave in the summer, and Fernandes will have a big decision to make on whether he wants to stay with the Red Devils or not. 

Kobbie Mainoo is also said to be considering a move away, and a new report has suggested that another player could be a few months away from joining the Saudi league. 

Which United player is wanted by Saudi teams?

According to The Mirror, Harry Maguire's contract expires in June, but United could look to cash in on the defender in January when the transfer window opens. 

Several Saudi clubs are interested in the Englishman, including Al-Ettifaq and Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr.

United paid £80m for Maguire, who joined in 2019 from Leicester City, and a move to the Saudi league could see the Mancunian side fetch a higher value for Maguire than expected this late in his career. 

Maguire's contract was set to expire this summer, but United extended his contract by 12 months. 

The 32-year-old is likely winding down his career, but Saudi clubs have been known to splash big on Premier League talent. 

Maguire has played in six of seven Manchester United games this season and has contributed one assist.
