But that could just throw a spanner in the works at Old Trafford where Ten Hag has plans to bring in more players.
While a striker and midfielder are being chased, another defender was also high on the Dutchman's wish list.
Napoli star Min-jae has become the top target after a sensational season in Serie A, where he helped them win the Scudetto in his debut campaign.
Despite landing their first league victory since 1990, there could be an exodus at the club where manager Luciano Spalletti has already left.
Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez have been the first-choice centre-backs at United this season.
But Min-jae was seen as the long-term successor to Varane, who has still only just turned 30.
However, as the Red Devils prepare to ply their trade in the Champions League next season, Ten Hag wanted a strong defence to cope with the heavy fixture schedule.
Newcastle are also in the hunt for Min-jae and Maguire's decision to stick rather than twist might just open the door at St James' Park over a transfer.
