The English defender has been one of the most consistent defender in the FIFA World Cup, and Jose Mourinho is ready to splash cash to sign him.

Following England's impressive run in the FIFA World Cup, Manchester United has set their sights on landing Harry Maguire, who has become one of Gareth Southgate's most trusted defenders.

According to the Daily Mail, Maguire's value increased as England made it past the earlier rounds of the tournament. In fact, his goalscoring contribution to The Three Lions' Quarter final win against Sweden was what motivated Jose Mourinho to pursue the footballer's signing.

Furthermore, the report adds that Manchester United's desire to sign the player would see them spending up to $66 million, which would help Leicester City make a 300% profit, since they signed the footballer away from Hull by paying the Tigers $22 million one year ago.

Manchester United has been rather still during the ongoing transfer window, as Mourinho chose to keep watching the World Cup to decide which players he wanted to sign. Luckily for The Special One, he will have a couple of players giving him first-hand info on the center back's behavior, since Ashley Young and Marcus Rashford have been in direct contact with Maguire during the past few weeks.
