Harry Maguire is set to join Manchester United in a record £80m deal from Leicester City
Maguire, 26, has been Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s prime transfer target to reinforce United’s defence this summer.
Sky Sports News reported on Friday that Manchester United had agreed on a fee with Leicester for Maguire that surpassed the previous world-record deal for a defender, set when Liverpool paid Southampton £75m for Virgil van Dijk in January 2018.
