Man United agree world-record £80 million Maguire fee with Leicester City

Caoe Town - Manchester United have agreed a world-record fee of £80 million for England defender Harry Maguire with fellow English Premiership side Leicester City, according to reports.

According to a report by The Sun, Man United have agreed to pay an initial fee of £60 million upfront with the rest coming in the form of performance bonuses over an extended period.

The Foxes have already found a replacement with a £45 million fee agreed with Brighton & Hove Albion defender Lewis Dunk.
