Harry Maguire to Manchester United will be announced soon which should allow the Red Devils to concentrate on completing another transfer before the deadline.
That’s according to Miguel Delaney of the Independent, who claims Maguire’s move to Old Trafford is ‘imminent’, with an official announcement expected shortly.

The Independent claim he will cost the Red Devils around £80m, but that may include an initial £70m with an extra £10m in bonuses.

Both Maguire and Fernandes would be solid attentions for United, along with Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who both joined earlier this summer.
Another name worth keeping track of is Lille’s Nicholas Pepe, with The Times suggesting talks have already started with United interested in replacing Romelu Lukaku with the Ivory Coast star.
