Man Utd Remain Short of Leicester's £80m Valuation of Harry Maguire

Manchester United are reported to be a massive £40m short of Leicester City's asking price for defender Harry Maguire.

The Red Devils are set to go head-to-head with rivals Manchester City over Maguire, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer desperate to add some quality English players to his side.

However, according to ESPN, they are nowhere near agreeing a deal. United are said to have suggested a fee of around £40m, which Leicester swiftly rejected as it was nowhere near their £80m asking price.

Previous reports have stated that executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward was prepared to meet the Foxes' demands, but this latest update suggests that an £80m bid is not yet forthcoming.
