Man United fans rejoice at prospect of the club selling under-fire captain Harry Maguire to Chelsea
Chelsea fans have been left unimpressed by prospect of bringing Harry Maguire to Stamford Bridge as Manchester United supporters urged the club to cash-in on their under-fire defender.
Sportsmail exclusively reported on Friday that Chelsea had inquired about the England defender and suggested he could be part of a swap deal that would see Christian Pulisic heading to Old Trafford.
There have been questions raised over Maguire’s future at United after his performances in the club’s opening two Premier League games, with the Red Devils sitting bottom of the table.
