While many football fans believe that Manchester United's Harry Maguire is a poor center-back, the club may go after a defender who has worse stats than the English defender. Manchester United are reportedly interested in Fulham's Tosin Adarabioyo. The Fulham defender played 20 games in the Premier League this season, scoring two goals. While Adarabioyo is quicker than Maguire, his tackles won per 90 minutes is 0.61. He wins 52.4% of his tackles per 90 and averages 2.39 recoveries. Maguire has had one of his best seasons with Manchester United, as he is averaging 70.8% tackles won per 90 minutes and averages 4.25 recoveries.
Adarabioyo is leaving Fulham as a free agent this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano, as his final decision has been made. The English defender was offered a new contract, but he refused to renew it as many clubs are interested in him, including Man United. Other clubs that are reportedly interested in signing him are Newcastle United, Liverpool, and Tottenham.

Since the news broke out that Adarabioyo will leave Fulham at the end of the season, the defender did not play in the last game against Crystal Palace. Fulham's manager Marco Silva was asked about Adarabioyo, and the Portuguese manager said, "He can play. We have three more games, and it’s my decision." Adarabioyo's last game was against Liverpool at Craven Cottage, where the home side lost 3-1. Adarabioyo played the full match against Liverpool, where he received a yellow card.

Harry Maguire's season with Manchester United
Unlike other seasons, Magurie has been crucial for Manchester United this season and has looked his best since his first year at Old Trafford. Maguire has played 22 matches in the Premier League, where he started in 18 of them. He has two goals and two assists this season in the league and has been the most consistent defender along with Diogo Dalot. Unfortunately for him, Manchester United as a team has not had a good season as they are 6th in the table with 54 points and will not play Champions League football next season. Maguire's last goal was against Sheffield United in the Premier League.
