The Manchester United boss is desperate to land the England World Cup star — even though Leicester could demand a record £60million for him.

United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is working on moves for Maguire and Tottenham centre-half Alderweireld.

According to , Spurs are sticking to their £55m valuation, but could lower that figure if United throw in Martial as a sweetener.

United would rather sell Martial to a club abroad but the player is willing to defy them and stay in England.

Jose Mourinho claims nobody 'has the right' to stop Anthony Martial from leaving Manchester United pre-season tour to be with girlfriend as she gives birth

The French forward, 22, has made it clear he wants to leave Old Trafford.

United are prepared to sell the £60million-rated star — but not to a rival.

He looks to have played his last game for United as he left the Red Devils' pre-season tour to be with his partner before she gave birth to their first child.

However, it emerged yesterday that Leicester have no interest in selling Maguire, who they picked up from Hull for £17m.

And that could leave Alderweireld as United's best hope of the two targets.
