Maguire arrives in Carrington

Leicester’s Harry Maguire has been pictured arriving at Manchester United’s Carrington training ground on Sunday morning morning as the move that we will see him become the world’s most expensive defender nears completion. The two clubs agreed a £80m fee for the 26-year-old this week, with the England international set to become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s third summer signing after Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Now, the move has inched one step further after the Yorkshireman was seen arriving at United’s training ground where he is expected to iron out the fine details of his move and undertake his medical for the record-breaking transfer. While no official confirmation has been made, Solsjkaer is already planning for the Red Devils’ opening Premier League game with Chelsea with the towering centre-half as part of his squad. The deal is set to be finalised in the coming hours and not only will Maguire become the world’s most expensive defender, but he is also set to eclipse the current Premier League window’s most expensive transfer - Arsenal’s £72m deal for Nicolas Pepe.
