The angry England centre-half Maguire, 26, missed training yesterday for the second time this summer but maintains he had a stomach bug — and is expected back today.

United, having had a £70million offer turned down, are now attempting to seal a world-record fee for a defender — topping Liverpool’s £75m for Virgil van Dijk

And Maguire believes Foxes vice-chairman Khun ‘Top’ Srivaddhanaprabha is being awkward regarding the deal with United — especially as he felt he kept his part of the bargain by acting professionally.

Maguire had a gentleman’s agreement with the club last year, after signing a new deal, they would not stand in his way with a fair offer this summer with United having also tried to sign him in 2018.

SunSport revealed how the £17m buy from Hull told the club, boss Brendan Rodgers then his Leicester team-mates he wanted to leave for either United or Manchester City.

Leicester continue to insist they will sell at their valuation, which is about £85m.
Rodgers, who has understood Maguire’s desire to leave, knows Leicester are still in a strong position.

If a deal is agreed, they will move for either Brighton’s Lewis Dunk or James Tarkowski of Burnley.

United striker Romelu Lukaku, meanwhile, stayed behind in Manchester last night to try to sort out his future as his team-mates travelled to Oslo.

The Belgian ace, 26, is keen to leave this summer with Inter Milan his preferred destination.
