Manchester United and bitter rivals City have reportedly been hit with a set-back in their respective pursuits for Leicester defender Harry Maguire, after the Foxes laid down their initial asking price.
Both clubs are seeking a centre-back to build a back line around next season, and will do battle for the signature of the England international.
Leicester are understood not to want to sell the 26-year-old, and slapped an £80million valuation on the powerful defender.
