Five clubs Harry Maguire could join as Man Utd move for Antonio Rudiger to replace him | Football | Sport

Tottenham

Tottenham’s defensive woes worsened on Wednesday in the dour 1-0 loss to Burnley.

Cristian Romero’s inability to deal with Ben Mee’s towering header showed the defensive frailties and leadership Tottenham lack.

Maguire would bring those to the table, and he would be revitalised in a team that is also in the hunt for Europe.

Chelsea

If Rudiger was to depart Chelsea for United, it would open up a defensive spot at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea would likely replace him with Jules Kounde of Sevilla, with the Frenchman’s release clause coming into play in the summer.

Yet with Andreas Christensen, Thiago Silva and Cesar Azpilicueta’s contracts expiring in the summer, Maguire could be seen as a potential back-up option to Kounde.
