Manchester United are not close to signing Harry Maguire from Leicester City.

ESPNsaysUnited are 'miles away' from meeting Leicester's valuation for the player.

Leicester want a world record fee for a defender, but such an £80 million figure is deemed as too high for United to meet.

While they are eager to sign the 26-year-old England defender, they do not want to be seen as bending backwards to clubs on transfer fees.

It is possible the two sides will reach a compromise in the coming days, as Maguire is reportedly keen on making the move.
