Manchester United are not yet close to completing a deal with Leicester City for defender Harry Maguire, club ambassador Denis Irwin has suggested.

The Red Devils are yet to agree a fee with City but Maguire is keen on a move to Old Trafford this summer. The England international is not trying to force a move though and is aware that a price needs to be met.

The two clubs remain apart on Maguire's valuation with City wanting more than the world-record fee for a defender, which stands at £75 million, while United hope to bring the price down.

Reports on Sunday suggested United had agreed a fee, but LeicestershireLive understands that is not the case and former United left-back and current club ambassador Denis Irwin has suggested there's still plenty to be done.

Asked whether the deal was complete, he told the Press Association: "No, no, Harry is a Leicester player, isn't he.

"Listen, we finished really, really poorly last year. When Ole (Gunnar Solskjaer) took over, we were really struggling.

"We were 11 points behind fourth place, and we got ourselves up there, got ourselves to the quarter-final of the Champions League, and we fell away badly in the last two months, six weeks of the season.

"This is Ole's first pre-season, so he has got a chance to stamp his identity on the football team and the way he wants Manchester United to play.

"We've brought in a couple of young lads, who have got plenty of pace - I think something that we lacked in the last two-three years - and I think we need another couple of signings.

"It would be great to get another few signings in and go from there because it's a fresh start, a clean slate."
