Man United should pay 'going rate' for Maguire says Nicol
Manchester United are eager to land Maguire from Leicester this transfer window, having seen a huge £70million bid fail last week.
The England international impressed for the Foxes in the Premier League last term and is admired by Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Manchester United are currently mulling over whether to up their bid for Maguire following a dreadful campaign where they shipped 54 Premier League goals.
United currently have several defenders on their books in the form of Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Victor Lindelof, Axel Tuanzebe and Marcos Rojo.

“One source close to the deal has said that Leicester value him at about £80million. That would be bigger than the [world-record £75m] deal for Virgil van Dijk.”
He added: “It would be very difficult for Harry Maguire, as we have been saying, to turn down a move to one of the Manchester clubs.
“He’s very thankful to Leicester for the way they have treated him, thankful for them giving him an opportunity when he moved from Hull for £17m in 2017.
“He’s a very down-to-earth guy, as well. I’ve spoken to him before, he’s very down-to-earth, from a working-class town, knows his roots. He’s not a big-time Charlie.”
