Manchester City or Manchester United? Harry Maguire has decided which club to join

Harry Maguire is set to join Manchester City ahead of Manchester United, report the Daily Mirror.

The Premier League champions will pay Leicester £80m to sign the England international.

United had been heavily linked with the central defender, but City have won the race after agreeing to a £280,000-a-week contract.

The former Hull centre-half will displace Virgil van Dijk, signed by Liverpool for £75m in January 2018, as the most expensive defender in the world.
