# United eyeing up £65m Maguire swoop

Manchester United are eyeing up a swoop for Leicester defender Harry Maguire this summer.

[According to The Daily Mail, The BBC,](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/gossip) United are very keen on a deal for the central defender.

The report claims that United will make an offer of £65m for the England international, but only if they are able to move on one of their current crop of defenders.

Marcos Rojo and Chris Smalling have both been linked with moves away from United, and one of them would need to leave before Maguire could be brought in.

Maguire made a name for himself for England at the World Cup in Russia this summer, as he produced a series of fine displays.

The centre-back scored twice, including one on the quarter-final against Sweden, and was a big part of England’s success in reaching the semi-final.

Jose Mourinho is eager to strengthen his defence and wants Maguire at Old Trafford.
