Reports in England claim that the England international that Saudi clubs Al-Nassr and Al-Ettifaq are keen on the former Leicester City central defender.

However, the Sun have reported that the 32-year-old is read to turn down offers, including a whopping £500,000-a-week deal.

Maguire did speak about his future a month ago, where he revealed his happiness with life in Manchester.

“I’m pretty sure the club made it clear to me this summer that I couldn’t leave under any circumstances, despite other clubs being interested in my contract situation,” Maguire said, as per Tribuna.

“I am sure we will sit down for talks in the coming months and discuss where we want to go from here: whether they want to extend my contract or if the transfer window will open for me again in the winter.

“I have an idea in my head of what I want and who I want to be. I don’t want to make it a public discussion, but this is a fantastic club, and it would be foolish to try and run away from here at the first opportunity.

“I think there were a few clubs who were possibly interested or in negotiations, but they got a quick answer. As I said, we’re in a good position, the club is positive, and I feel that the board, Jason [Wilcox, Manchester United’s sporting director], and the head coach are leading it in the right direction. In terms of the structure behind the coaching staff, everything is on a completely different level.”
