Manchester United make final £80m bid for Maguire

It's been one of the transfer sagas of the summer, but Manchester United finally appear to be putting the right kind of money in front of Leicester for Harry Maguire.

TalkSPORT claims that an £80 million offer has been placed, but will be withdrawn on Monday if it's not accepted by then.

Leicester reportedly want £80m, with United's bids to date not reaching that amount, so now the ball is seemingly in their court. The fact that Maguire was left off the club's Twitter post about their shirt numbers for 2019-20 just adds fuel to the fire.

If the deal goes through, Maguire would become the most expensive defender of all-time -- beating the £75m that Liverpool paid Southampton for Virgil van Dijk.
