Manchester United have been linked with a number of defenders over the course of the year. They have, however, failed to sign a center-back even now and are still pursuing the players they had targeted in the last window.

One among them is Harry Maguire. The English defender had an excellent World Cup campaign for the Three Lions last year and followed it up with a superb campaign for Leicester City last season.

And now, according to Sky, United are still pursuing the signature of the center-back. Manchester United had reportedly moved ahead of rivals Manchester City by offering £70 million for the defender.

However, Leicester are adamant about not selling Maguire for that price, especially after United paid £50 million for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who doesn’t have the same international experience as Maguire does. As a result, United might have to pay up.
