Man Utd duo Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay "closer than ever" to West Ham move

Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay are on the verge of a move to West Ham, it has been claimed.

The pair have been heavily rumoured with a move away from Old Trafford as Erik ten hag seeks to raise funds for further moves in the transfer market this summer.

And it seems both players could be heading to the London Stadium, after West Ham 'started medicals' for the two players on Friday, claims journalist Alan Nixon.

The report adds that a deal is now "closer than ever" and that "West Ham have started the process of signing McTominay and Maguire by giving them long distance medicals."

Nixon adds (quotes via UtdDistrict): "The pair have had their records sent to West Ham, which will now be personally checked."

Just last week, it was reported that West Ham had a bid worth £20 million rejected by United for Maguire, with the Old Trafford outfit seeking £40m for the defender.

While the Daily Mail claim the club have placed an identical asking price on McTominay, who graduated through the Red Devils' youth academy.

In the meantime, United have signed Mason Mount and Andre Onana for a combined fee of £107 million this summer, and have reached an agreement with Atalanta to sign 20-year-old striker Rasmus Hojlund.

But Ten Hag isn't finished there, with Fiorentina midfielder heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford. The United boss is said to be 'holding firm' in his valuation of the midfielder, which is just over £21 million.

But United could need to sell up to five players to land the Morocco International's signature, according to the Independent.
