Manchester United will NOT meet the price claimed by English defender Harry Maguire in Leicester City for £ 80 million.
According to journalist Neil Custis, the Red Devils "have had their fingers burned too often" in the transfer market and will not be held in ransom by the Fox.
Man United and Man City are reported to have been engaged in a city-to-city transfer battle to sign the 26-year-old central defender this summer.

However, it seems that the huge price Leicester requested could put an end to the pursuit of both clubs.
According to reports, Maguire would prefer to be transferred to City, but the Premier League champions are unwilling to pay close to £ 80m, valuing him at around £ 60m.
It was then suggested that United be ready to pay the full amount, but Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers revealed Tuesday that he had received two offers for the English international, supposed to come from Manchester rivals, but deemed unsatisfactory .
Custis, a correspondent for the Old Trafford newspaper in the Sun, joined Brazil's Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast on Wednesday to share the latest news from United's pre-season tour of Australia.

"Manchester United is too often burn fingers with transfers – people are constantly adding 10 or 20 million pounds to unrealistic numbers.
"£ 80m for Harry Maguire is ridiculous, it's totally and totally unrealistic.

Is Harry Maguire really worth 80 million pounds?
"£ 50 million, yes, good. He is good but he is not great. It's not Nemanja Vidic, it's not Rio Ferdinand nor Virgil van Dijk.
"Fortunately, 80 million pounds is ridiculous … Man United is no longer going to be demolished because they had it with Alexis Sanchez.
"I would be surprised that Sanchez is playing another game for Man United because he was so awful and his attitude was so terrible."
