An agreement in principle has been reached by West Ham with  Manchester United to sign Harry Maguire in a deal worth in the region of £30m.

West Ham are currently working on the details of Harry Maguires exit from Manchester United. The club had a £20m bid for the defender rejected last month but now the club is optimistic about the completion of signing Maguire.

Ahead of Man Utd Premier League opener against Wolves, Maguire trained with the team Wednesday morning.

The 39-year-old was replaced as Man Utd captain by Bruno Fernades, and made only16 Premier League appearances last season, with Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, and Raphael Varane preferred as center backs over the Englishman.

Maguire was removed as captain earlier in the summer, with midfielder Bruno Fernades named as his successor.
