However, according to GiveMeSport, a sale in the January transfer window is unlikely. Although it is believed a big offer could entice, Manchester United are not believed to be encouraging bids.

While it is believed he is likely to stay in January, it could still reportedly be his final season at Old Trafford.

Earlier on this year, West Ham United were credited with interest in the Yorkshire-born centre-back.

Maguire was nurtured within Sheffield United’s academy and made his senior breakthrough with the Blades as a teenager. A move to Hull followed but it was while at Leicester he saw his stock soar at a rapid rate.

He has been an almost constant presence in the England squad since 2017, when he was handed his maiden call-up by Gareth Southgate. Previously, the defender had been capped just once for England’s under-21s.
