Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reiterated Ed Woodward's desire to sign Harry Maguire this summer.
The Red Devils have failed with an offer for the 26-year-old until this summer and last week it was announced that an £ 80 million deal had been struck, which would be premature .
Maguire is eager to move to Old Trafford but will not file a transfer request to force a transfer.
Leicester is under no financial pressure to sell Maguire and is claiming world record fees for a defender who will part with the former Hull man.
Solskjaer hinted earlier this week that United's action for Maguire would be over but Eric Bailly was seriously injured in the knee in the team's 2-1 win over the Spurs in Shanghai on Thursday.
The Ivorian was on a stretcher and will likely miss the start of the season.

Bailly was already fearing for his future at Old Trafford, as Metro.com exclusively revealed earlier this week, and his injury only made it even stronger for United to sign Maguire.
According to Sky Sports News, Solskjaer has asked Woodward to enter into this agreement as a matter of urgency.
Bailly's injury has left the door open for United to meet the £ 80 million Leicester price, but there are only two weeks left for the transfer to take place.
Ed Woodward chose to stay in the UK rather than attending the club's China tour because he wanted to focus on the rest of the transfer window.
