Report: Manchester United agree £80 million with Leicester City for the services of Harry Maguire, with defender set for medical tomorrow

According to The Sun, Manchester United have sealed the services of Leicester City centre-back Harry Maguire for £80 million, and the England international will have his medicals tomorrow ahead of a summer move. The transfer fees is a world-record fee for a defender, as it eclipses the £75 million Liverpool paid Southampton for the services of Netherlands international Virgil Van Dijk in January 2018. United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to boost his defence as he looks to lead the team to a top-four finish and challenge for silverware next term, and he reckons snapping up Maguire can help achieve that.
