According to Metro Sport, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has told Ed Woodward to go all out for Leicester City’s Harry Maguire.
Manchester United have been on the defender’s trail for quite some time with their previous offers rejected by the Foxes.
However, they are back to scouting him for a potential move in the summer. The Red Devils are looking for a marquee signing to improve their vulnerable backline and Maguire understandably is at the top of their summer wishlist.
Leicester manager, Brendan Rodgers is already anticipating an approach from the Manchester outfit. The report claims that Ed Woodward and the rest of the United hierarchy have been waiting for Solskjaer’s final word on the potential transfer.
Maguire is expected to cost around £65m in the current market. He signed a contract with the Foxes recently which is bound to keep him at the King Power Stadium till the summer of 2023.
A move to Old Trafford would see his salary of £140,000-per-week get doubled if the transfer ends up getting finalized.
He has made 27 appearances this season while also collecting 3 goals. The England international has jumped into the spotlight with his consistent performances this past season and also during the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
