Man Utd & Man City face tough battle for Leicester defender Maguire

Manchester United and Manchester City are both determined to sign Leicester City centre-back Harry Maguire.

Both clubs are preparing offers to sign Maguire following the end of England's Nations League campaign.

Leicester want to keep Maguire and Sky Sports says it would take £80m to secure his signature.

United and City would not be prepared to pay that price, however the Foxes have begun searching for alternatives in case a deal can be negotiated.

Brendan Rodgers has identified Burnley's James Tarkowski as a possible replacement.
