Football: Top Transfer Rumours

Manchester United agree £80 million deal to sign Maguire

Manchester United have struck a deal with Leicester to bring their star defender Harry Maguire to Old Trafford on a world-record fee for a defender. The club has been chasing after the England international all summer, and former coach Jose Mourinho had tried to sign him last year.

But the deal had dragged on due to Leicester’s insistence to let him go only for a world-record fee. The £80 million deal surpasses what Liverpool paid for Virgil Van Dijk last summer, and is now subject to personal terms and a medical.
