Manchester United are reportedly finding it hard to sell Harry Maguire due to a hidden clause in his contract.
Manchester United are looking to raise money from sales to fund Erik ten Hag's transfer plans this summer and it has proved rather difficult to shift a number of stars.
Club captain Harry Maguire is one star who has seen his game time at the club limited since Ten Hag's arrival and is expected to be sold. However, moving the defender on has proven rather complicated.
Why selling Maguire is complicated for Man United
The Red Devils finished third in the Premier League last season, qualifying for the Champions League which ensured a wage rise for the 30-year-old.
Now, according to The Guardian, that wage boost has made it extra difficult to sell him this summer unless he accepts a significant wage reduction.
Maguire cost a hefty £80million when he arrived from Leicester City in 2019 and has two years left on the six-year deal he signed upon joining.
