Maguire is heading for extra time, but this is a situation at the heart of the United defence, which the management needs to do something about. Now it is reported from Germany that the Red Devils are interested in securing one of “Europe’s best centre-backs”.

It is nothing new that United are linked with the 26-year-old, who is also being chased by Liverpool, but according to the journalist, United are very interested in securing the German international this summer.

In June, the centre-back will be in the final year of his contract, which means that he could be available for around 30-35 million euros.
