Manchester United are planning to bid for £130m-rated Leicester City duo James Maddison and Ben Chilwell.

The Sun says United have sent scouts to watch the Foxes pair during their recent matches against Tottenham and Liverpool.

It is understood the Old Trafford chief was impressed with Maddison and Chilwell during their 1-0 home win over Leicester earlier this campaign.

A United source said: “We have already compiled a scouting report of both of them. We have been watching them for a few years now.

“They fit all the right requirements and criteria in terms of quality and keeping an English core which is important.

“Ole likes them but it would be difficult to get them both at the same time. We will have to wait and see what happens."
