MANCHESTER UNITED are in pole position to sign Harry Maguire as fierce rivals Manchester City can't meet Leicester's valuation.
The Foxes are believed to want at least £75million for the England centre-half.
And according to 90Minutes, City are not prepared to pay that much in what would be a world-record fee for a defender.
That leaves United as favourites to finally nab the player they tried to bring in back in January.
But they will have to up their game after having an initial £70m bid rejected already.
And Arsenal have also made an inquiry for the central defender but have made it clear they can only go to £50m for a player who cost £17m from Hull two years ago.
