Harry Maguire\u2019s move to West Ham is off with the defender intent on staying at Manchester United to fight for his place in the first team.<\/p>\n

The England defender, 30, looked set to join the Hammers after\u00a0a \u00a330m fee was agreed\u00a0between the clubs.<\/p>\n

Maguire struggled for first-team opportunities last season and was stripped of the captaincy this season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, United have maintained they would respect his wishes and did not want to push him out of the club.<\/p>\n

A source close to the player said that while Maguire \u201crespects West Ham and David Moyes\u201d there was \u201cnever an agreement in place\u201d over his personal terms.<\/p>\n

They added: \u201cHarry remains settled at United, loves the club and believes he will get plenty of opportunities to play this season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maguire was on the bench for United\u2019s 1-0\u00a0win over Wolves\u00a0on Monday but did not get on even though manager Erik ten Hag used five substitutes and replaced central defender Lisandro Martinez with Victor Lindelof at half-time.<\/p>\n

Prior to that game, Ten Hag said Maguire would be better off leaving United if he is not confident enough to battle for a first-team spot.<\/p>\n
