United have an agreement in place with Tottenham for the signing of Toby Alderweireld, but Spurs have refused to complete the deal until they have brought in a replacement for the Belgium international.
Spurs had wanted £75m for the Belgium international, but United offered just £50m in May. It had seemed there would be no deal but now it seems £60m could be enough to get the deal to go through, especially as Alderweireld can leave for £25m next season.
United have supposedly, through intermediaries, been working on a deal to bring the Belgium international to Old Trafford.
Bleacher Report say Jose Mourinho views Maguire as a gamble and would relish having Alderweireld in his backline.
The Portuguese coach recently had a dig at the club, claiming that he didn’t get the signings he wanted ahead of Thursday’s transfer deadline.
One are of need for the Red Devils is centre-back, where the likes of Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Eric Bailly have struggled, as has recent signing Victor Lindelof.
