Solskjaer speaks to Man Utd players for their opinion on transfer target Maguire

Man utd news updates live:
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been doing some behind-the-scenes groundwork on his No.1 transfer target Harry Maguire.

Solskjaer is desperate to bolster his defensive ranks this summer and has prioritised the signing of a centre-back after adding right-back Aaron Wan-Bisakka to his squad last month.



Top of his list is Leicester and England star Maguire, who is at the centre of a transfer battle between United and fierce rivals Manchester City.

Solskjaer has opted to use his contacts to do research on the defender, with the manager seemingly intent on ensuring any potential arrivals are the perfect fit for the club.



And, as revealed by Mirror Football , Solskjaer has approached his England stars at Manchester United for their thoughts on Maguire.

The United boss has spoken to his Three Lions contingent about Maguire to get the inside track on the big defender's personality.



And the feedback he got about the Foxes star from Ashley Young, Chris Smalling, Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Phil Jones was positive.

All five stars have spent plenty of time with Maguire, who was first called up to Gareth Southgate’s squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Malta and Slovakia in 2017
