Leicester boss, Brendan Rodgers, praised Harry Maguire's professionalism and confessed that he was "relaxed" in the face of Manchester United's reported interest in the central defender.

United is hoping to bring back a senior central defender before closing the transfer window next month. PA thus understood that the English international was in the line of sight of the giants of Old Trafford.

Maguire played 45 minutes in Leicester's 1-0 win over Scunthorpe and Rodgers then spoke to the situation.

He said, "There is a value that has not been met and I support it. He is a special player and we want to keep him but, of course, time will tell.

"The other interested club is a huge club, but it's a really good guy.

"I've been in this position many times and it's never easy, but he took part in everything and showed only his professionalism. You saw him tonight with the 45 minutes he played. "

Asked by Sky Sports News about potential substitutes if Maguire were to leave, Rodgers added, "The club has been very good. If we lose it, we will have a number of targets to examine.

"But we are pretty relaxed with him. He is a high quality player and no one has approached the value of the player to induce the club to sell. "

Ayoze Perez, who joined Leicester from Newcastle on July 4, scored the only goal of the Glanford Park game in the first period.
