Harry Maguire has revealed his desire to “play at the highest level” amid speculation Manchester United want to sign him, The Sun reports.

The colossal Leicester centre-back, who enjoyed a stellar World Cup campaign at the heart of Gareth Southgate’s England defence, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford.

Although the 25-year-old has not declared he wants to leave the Foxes, the lure of Champions League football and a bigger contract with one of the established top six Premier League clubs could prove too good to turn down.

Maguire arrived at Leicester from Hull last summer for just £12million (Dh57m) but is now thought to be worth £65m (Dh312m).
