West Ham's loan enquiry for Harry Maguire is rejected by Manchester United - with Erik ten Hag adamant his captain still has a key role to play this season despite not being first-choice

West Ham's audacious attempt at signing Harry Maguire on loan from Manchester United has been rejected with the Red Devils insisting he is not leaving Old Trafford.

Maguire's future at United has been shrouded in doubt with the captain no longer first-choice at centre back.

Erik ten Hag has preferred Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez ahead of the 29-year-old - with even natural left back Luke Shaw playing as a makeshift centre half at his expense recently.
