Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

H. Maguire is a 33-year-old central defender at Manchester United, rated 33 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 346th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (68.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.48 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Maguire.

Judged on this season alone, Maguire graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets and 2.484 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 60th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 33 Maguire is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 16.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Maguire missed 9 games through injury and 2 suspensions (hamstring) out of roughly 38 this season. The 23 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 68.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99/100).

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33, Maguire carries the 60th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 64. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
