The Mirror says that Leicester are willing to offer Maguire a new contract worth more than £100,000-a-week, but the Daily Mail adds that the 25-year-old is “convinced he will leave” before the end of the transfer window.

If Mourinho does want to bring Maguire to Old Trafford then he must first sell one of the centre-halfs already on the books. The Mail says that Mourinho is likely to keep Eric Bailly but that the other four - Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and Victor Lindelof - are all dispensable.
