9:45 UPDATE: Harry Maguire contract
Manchester United are prepared to offer Leicester defender Harry Maguire an astronomical contract.
That’s according to the Daily Star, who claim Ed Woodward will pay the England international £250,000 a week to join.
Maguire, 26, currently earns £90,000 per week at the King Power Stadium but could see that nearly triple if he arrives at Old Trafford.
Manchester United had a £70million opening bid rejected for the centre-back with the Foxes wanting closer to £90m - a fee that would make Maguire the most expensive defender of all time.
