Old Trafford chiefs have pulled the plug on Maguire after Leicester demanded £90m plus £10m in add-ons for the England centre-half.
While Maguire does not seem likely to be heading to the Theatre of Dreams Wan-Bissaka is on his way. The Sun reports that the 21-year-old has agreed a six-year deal worth £80,000 a week.
