Leicester owners won't cave into Man Utd pressure over Maguire bid

Leicester City owners are determined not to lose Harry Maguire this week.

The Daily Star says Manchester United are ready to test the water with a £75m bid for the England and Leicester defensive rock.

But the Foxes' wealthy owners are adamant Maguire is going nowhere and are refusing to be bullied into selling their star man.

United boss Jose Mourinho is desperate to get his hands on the 25-year-old and has urged the club to pull out all the stops to land his man.

But Leicester are refusing to budge and are ready to double Maguire's wages to around £100,000-a-week to keep him at the club and bring him into line with their top earners Jamie Vardy and Kasper Schmeichel.
