Man United to splash KSh 12 billion record fee for Harry Maguire

However, Daily Star claim Old Trafford chiefs would have to break the record fee Liverpool paid for Virgil Van Dijk to land the services of Maguire.

The 26-year-old is still under contract at the King Power Stadium until 2023 after signing a new deal in September.

And the Foxes are under no pressure to sell the central defender meaning they can name a price.

Football pundit, Shaka Hislop reckons Maguire would be a perfect fit at Old Trafford.

The ESPN pundit said: “I think he’d be a hit. I liked this link when it first cropped up, what, 12 months ago.”

“I continue to like it even though I will say that Solskjaer’s gotten a lot better return out of the centre-halves that he has at his disposal now. But I think Maguire continues to grow in confidence and stature in the English game,” he added.

Meanwhile, TUKO.co.ke had earlier reported that Ryan Giggs witnessed the tense rivalry between Manchester United and Arsenal during his 14-year spell in the Premier League.

Giggs was part of the iconic class of ’92 that brought success at United under former manager, Sir Alex Ferguson.
