Leicester have turned down Manchester United's £70m bid for Harry Maguire. United moved ahead of rivals Manchester City in the chase for the England defender by increasing their offer from the initial £65m that both clubs had indicated they would be happy to pay a fortnight ago.
But Leicester have made it clear they are not interested in selling at that price, especially after seeing United pay £50m for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who they feel cannot compare to Maguire in proven international quality and experience.
Manchester United have had a £31m offer for Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes, 24, rejected by Sporting Lisbon.
Meanwhile, Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has told club chiefs to sign Newcastle United's English midfielder Sean Longstaff, 21, in a £25m deal this week
