Manchester United set to Battle Arsenal and Tottenham to sign one of the best defenders in EPL

Manchester United in a bid to strengthen their defence are going to do battle with Tottenham and Arsenal to sign Harry Maguire from Leicester City and his club will reportedly demand no less than £60 million for Harry Maguire, which would make him the most expensive-ever British defender.

Leicester City defender Harry Maguire is expected to play his last game for the club this weekend, with four Premier League clubs preparing for a bidding war for the defender in the summer.

Manchester United, Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea (should they manage to have the Fifa transfer ban suspended) are all keen to sign Maguire. But Leicester will reportedly demand no less than £60 million (69 million euros) for the 26-year-old, which would be a record fee paid for a British defender.

Since joining Leicester from Hull in 2017, Maguire has become one of the most sought-after defenders in the Premiership and played a vital role in England’s road to the World Cup semi-final in Russia last summer, scoring a goal in the Three Lions’ 2-0 win over Sweden at the last-eight stage.

Maguire emerged as a top target for the Red Devils last summer and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is said to be keen to revive United’s interest in the 26-year-old at the end of the season. Manchester United, who will finish outside of the top four in the Premier League, have already shipped more than 50 goals this term and Solskjaer believes defensive reinforcements are needed. Maguire could be set to make his final appearance for Leicester when the Foxes entertain Chelsea on Sunday but the England man may not be heading to Old Trafford.
