La-li-lu-le-lo Posted 30 July 2019 Posted 30 July 2019 It’s too late for me, if we sell him now we’ve shot ourselves in the foot, because we will not replace him in that short space of time. We’ve got to be careful, because if we sell him on Friday for a few between £80-90 million, then that potentially slaps £10 million onto our potential replacement. It’s all well and good making United work for it, but we could end up just looking at the transfer money rather than spend it, and without a replacement we all of a sudden look a lot weaker.

urban.spaceman Posted 30 July 2019 Posted 30 July 2019 Manchester United's pursuit of Harry Maguire threatens to go to the wire as Leicester refuse to budge on £90m fee John Percy Harry Maguire wants to join Manchester United, but the club won't pay £90m Credit: getty images Manchester United's pursuit of Harry Maguire is threatening to drag into the final week of the transfer window, with the club still reluctant to pay Leicester's asking price of around £90 million. Maguire has told Leicester's board and management staff that he is keen to move to Old Trafford but at this stage United are unwilling to meet the fee demanded by Leicester. As reported by Telegraph Sport on July 2, Leicester are seeking a world-record fee for a defender, understood to be an initial £85m plus add-ons, which would smash the £75m paid out by Liverpool for Virgil van Dijk in January last year. Leicester informed United, and Manchester City, of the price during initial talks back in May and that figure will not be lowered or increased before the transfer deadline next Thursday. Maguire, 26, will be cleared to leave if any club meets the valuation but as of Tuesday night, it is understood United are still some way from making any progress. United believe Leicester's expectations are unrealistic, after having a £60m bid for the England defender turned down earlier this month. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already signed Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James in this summer window and has targeted Maguire as one of his priorities ahead of his first full season as manager. Maguire missed training on Monday with a stomach bug but returned on Tuesday and sources insist his attitude and professionalism have remained "exemplary".

But Maguire has played in four friendlies so far - scoring in the 3-0 win at Cambridge United - and is set to feature in the game against Atalanta on Friday night at the King Power Stadium.
MPH Posted 30 July 2019 Posted 30 July 2019 come on Top, pull the plug. I’ve got a fantasy football team to pick! Need to know who my leicester players will be!
Langston Posted 30 July 2019 Posted 30 July 2019 Playing on Friday - I still think he'll go but I really hope we don't leave ourselves short.
Leeds Fox Posted 30 July 2019 Posted 30 July 2019 How they can pay £50m for Wan Bissaka and expect us to sell Maguire for £60m is quite unbelievable and frankly disrespectful to us and Harry. The fact that so far we’ve just stuck our fingers up and told them to p*** off really shows bar far we’ve come (and how far they’ve fallen). Even if he does leave for £90m, I’d say we played a blinder, even if we end up overpaying for a replacement. Just out of principle, not being bullied by Man Utd shows a great shift in our clubs stature.

jayfox26 Posted 30 July 2019 Posted 30 July 2019 34 minutes ago, urban.spaceman said: What is our problem? Well my problem is that United fans just dont get it. Many of us have tried to explain but they are all too thick to understand. The words we don't want to sell Maguire just dont seem to sink into their heads. They are so up themselves and entitled its incredible. How dare little Leicester reject a bid from big bad Man United. And the one that said they helped us with youth players? Yeh we bought Drinky and James from them when they were unwanted, hardly helping us out. Oh and they loaned us Lingard. And he was as much use as Harry Kane was to us! I even tried to simplify it for some United fans by comparing it to selling your house or car to someone when you really don't want to sell it. You dont sell it for market value, you massively inflate the price to either a. Put off the bidder or b. Make a huge profit. But they still don't understand.
funkyrobot Posted 30 July 2019 Posted 30 July 2019 1 hour ago, AKCJ said: I agree, Ndidi is more important than Maguire. But Maguire definitely had the better season. Our defence with Maguire is absolutely superb, definitely the best outside of Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea IMO. But Harry Maguire in Man United's back four is better than ours + Morgan/Soyuncu/Benkovic in his spot. Fuchs isn't better than Shaw mate. I'd definley also have Lindelof over Evans, as much as I rate him. I don’t agree with your assessment of Maguire v Ndidi even though you write your statement as if it’s fact ? Player against player rating wise I’d take our back four with or without Maguire. I guess we best agree to disagree! I’m sure there are a few closet Man U fans that will agree with you - though quite what positives you’ve taken out of Shaw’s performances last season I don’t know. Fitness issues aside, he’s not even in the England squad these days never mind warming the bench and that’s even taking in to consideration that being a top 6 player gives you a selection advantage usually with Southgate.
Dan Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 Man Utd can afford it. That's not even a debate. Their revenue is obscene.
bpfox Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 tell united to f..... off or it will now cost u 100 million.

KP Fox Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 They're complaining about the fee going up day by day. Well there's one solution. Pay the asking price today then you numpties!
FoxyPalace.com Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 United the clock is ticking. You either bite the bullet or go find another Maguire elsewhere. Either way we win......
VIKTOR-LE5 Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztN8V0e203U United fans delusions.
ronnup Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 I expect there was a deadline for 80 Millon. Perhaps now it's more. But given the Bailly injuries severity they must release that we are in the driving seat. If they spunk 90 mill in the last week it'll be hilarious.
nnfox Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 If £90m is what we want, and we'll accept £85m + add ons, then if that's been our stance since May and we're not budging, then I believe Utd will pay up next week. They can legitimately try and haggle the price (why wouldn't you?) But there is a firm deadline for this deal. When that starts getting close, they'll just have to pay up. Utd desperately need a quality centre back and they now appear short on options and short on time. Unless they sign someone else for less money, then this will happen next week IMO.
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 United just aren’t the powerhouse they were under Fergie, they’re in a bit of a mess at the moment and I hope Harry doesn’t go there, they’re not even the best team in Manchester!
