Manchester United Make Approach For Harry Maguire

Harry Maguire is subject of an official approach by Manchester United.

Man United have enquired about the player, according to Sky Sports, as manager Jose Mourinho looks to bolster his defence ahead of the new season.

It's thought they're prepared to pay £65 for his services.

Mourinho wants to bring in a key centre-back and Maguire suits the bill perfectly. He had a great season with Leicester City, and a superb campaign for the Three Lions in the World Cup in Russia.

Man United were linked to Tottenham Hotspurs defender Toby Alderweireld but Spurs will want to bat away any offers for their man, not wanting to sell to a Premier League rival.

Man United supporters have had their say:

It's been a disappointing summer for Man United so far. But this transfer - should it go through - will surely brighten up supporters, as they wait for the new season in 15 days day.
