Man Utd and Leicester still haggling over Maguire fee

Manchester United and Leicester City are still haggling over a fee for Harry Maguire.

The London Evening Standard says United are locked in talks over Maguire – but insist they will not overpay for the Leicester defender.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already seen a £70million bid for the England international rejected – but remains optimistic a breakthrough will be reached.

Club sources insisted on Sunday night that a fee was still to be agreed, despite claims an offer worth up to £80m had been accepted, with Maguire due to undergo a medical.

It's understood the two sides remain some way apart in their valuations of the 26-year-old, who looks set to become the most expensive defender in history.

United are refusing to meet Leicester's £90m asking price, with Ed Woodward trying to reach a compromise, which is likely to be heavily structured around performance-related add-ons.
