The insiders have disclosed that United are prepared to negotiate for Maboe's permanent transfer from Sundowns, with whom he still has one year left on his contract.
"They wanted to negotiate for the permanent move in January but they were running against time. You remember they got him on transfer deadline day? So they didn't want to delay it further but now that there is time they are looking at starting the negotiations already. They want to start it early so that they know which players they will have next season. They want to start the season with a strong team which will compete. They believe they didn't have that this season and Maboe is one of the players who they think can help in bringing in that change," the insider stated.
