Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has clarified that West Ham United did not reach an agreement with the Red Devils to sign him.
The centre-back was touted to join the Hammers during the back end of the summer transfer window, but a deal did not materialise in the end.
Multiple sources have claimed that the move failed due to Maguire wanting a huge pay-off from United, but the defender has a different story.
When asked about the transfer link, he said: It wasn't agreed between both clubs so the actual opportunity wasn't there because we didn't get far enough down the line with it."
Maguire recently started the 2-1 win over Brentford in the Premier League. He provided the vital assist for Scott McTominay's dramatic winner.
The England international could get an extended run in the starting line-up, suppose Raphael Varane does not recover from his muscle injury.
United have had a poor start to the league campaign and they are currently 10th in the table with only 12 points from the opening eight games.
