Manchester United Agree To £80 Million Deal Offer For Leicester's Harry Maguire

Manchester United are beginning to edge closer to working out a deal for Harry Maguire as they reportedly have agreed to an £80m deal with Leicester City for the defender. 

Harry tops in Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's target this summer and has been in talks with his club which remained keen on keeping the England international for whom they have been demanding £75 million.   

It appears United are on the brink of securing a deal with the player who reportedly is ready to discuss personal terms with Red Devils for a record-setting deal that is the biggest in history for a defender. 

"£80m was the magic figure for Leicester to do business," an insider revealed speaking to the Transfer Show on Thursday, "It seems as though United are prepared to go there so this could happen quite quickly."

Manchester City previously was in the race for Harry but have been unable to meet up with Leicester's asking price, giving United the upper hands in the pursuit. Even United had previously backed down after considering a £70 million to be too much for the player.
