Fans convinced Harry Maguire has finally left Man Utd as League Two club announce new transfer
FANS are convinced Harry Maguire has finally left Manchester United.
That’s after League Two club Crawley Town announced the signing of his brother Laurence on Wednesday.
Maguire, 30, is the subject of interest from West Ham after tumbling down the pecking order under Erik ten Hag.
He was stripped of the United captaincy earlier this summer.
And it remains to be seen if Maguire is still a Red Devil come Friday’s transfer deadline following a new injury blow for Raphael Varane.
However, some supporters were left convinced Maguire had indeed departed the Theatre of Dreams today.
Crawley Town made a big transfer announcement revealing they had made a statement signing.
Indeed, the player revealed by the EFL club did look exactly like Maguire.
But there was a twist, as it turned out to be his brother Laurence instead.
The 26-year-old has joined Crawley on loan from National League outfit Chesterfield for the season.
