TRANSFER UPDATE! Man United Manager Solskjaer Ready To Splash £80m For This Premier League Defender

Manchester United are continuing their pursuit of Leicester City defender, Harry Maguire, despite his £80 million price tag, ESPN reports.

United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, is desperate to land Maguire along with Crystal Palace right-back, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, this summer.

Manchester City are also in the hunt for Maguire, but Leicester have made it clear that it would take a huge bid to part with the player.

It is believed the 26-year-old would be open to a move to a top-six side if a fee can be agreed.

Maguire only signed a new deal until 2023 last September.

The centre-back was a target for former United manager, Jose Mourinho, last summer but the club were put off by Leicester’s valuation.
