The long-running transfer story of the summer is finally nearing its end after the clubs finally shook hands on a deal.
Maguire was left out of the Leicester squad for their clash with Atalanta tonight.
That’s after Brendan Rodgers decided that the player was not in the right frame of mind to continue preparations for the new season with Leicester, for the time being at least.
According to the Daily Telegraph, United have agreed a basic deal worth £85million with Leicester.
It will be a world-record fee for a defender, surpassing the £75m Liverpool paid for Virgil van Dijk in January 2018.
United have been tentative to reach Leicester’s valuation for the player all summer, fearing overpaying for the 26-year-old.
Their opening offer of £70m was turned away and King Power Stadium chiefs demanded in excess of £90m.
They have now settled for slightly less, after Maguire continued to make his intentions of leaving the club clear.
