Maguire confirms Man Utd interest but reiterates Leicester loyalty

Harry Maguire has confirmed that Manchester United did try to sign him over the summer, but says he feels too much loyalty to Leicester City to leave.

The England defender enjoyed a sterling World Cup, helping the Three Lions to the semi-finals, even scoring in the quarter-final against Sweden.

Jose Mourinho was interested in securing his services for a potential world-record fee for a defender, but Maguire has now confirmed that he feels he owes the Foxes a debt of gratitude.

“Obviously going into a World Cup there was always going to be interest if we were as successful as we were," he said.
