West Ham United will reportedly reignite their interest in Manchester United centre-back Harry Maguire during this summer's transfer window.
The Hammers were heavily linked with Maguire last year, but the former Sheffield United youngster rejected the chance to move to the London Stadium in order to fight for his spot at Old Trafford.
The 31-year-old has regained the trust of Man United head coach Erik ten Hag this season, making 23 appearances in all competitions, including 16 outings in the Premier League, but he has had his fitness issues, missing five Premier League matches with a groin issue earlier this term.
Maguire has been absent since the clash with Fulham on February 24, meanwhile, due to an unspecified issue, but he is expected to be back in the squad against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.
Despite his improvement this term, there remains speculation surrounding his future, with Man United expected to sign at least one new centre-back this summer.
Maguire only has just over 12 months left to run on his contract at Old Trafford, meanwhile, although there is the option to extend the agreement for a further year until June 2026.
According to The Sun, West Ham head coach David Moyes remains keen on Maguire and will push to bring the England international to the club this summer.
The report claims that Moyes is determined to bring in an aerially dominant central defender and views the former Man United captain as the perfect fit.
The Hammers would allegedly be willing to pay between £15m and £20m for Maguire, but he would likely have to accept a huge wage drop in order to join the club.
The Englishman made the move to Old Trafford from Leicester City in 2019, and he has represented the Red Devils on 198 occasions, scoring nine goals and registering seven assists.
Providing that he passes a late fitness test, Maguire is expected to line up in the middle of the Man United defence alongside Raphael Varane for Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final with Liverpool.
Of the club's current crop of centre-backs, arguably only Lisandro Martinez is guaranteed to be at Old Trafford next season, with Varane and Jonny Evans both out of contract, while Maguire and Victor Lindelof are both being linked with exits.
West Ham were also heavily linked with Man United midfielder Scott McTominay last year, but it is unclear whether the club will return for the Scotland international over the summer.
