Sir Alex Ferguson wants Manchester United to sign Harry Maguire as their central defensive reinforcement.
Sources have told the MEN Ferguson believes United should do all they can to sign the 26-year-old after they had a £70million bid rejected by Leicester at the start of the week.
Ferguson is believed to be mystified as to why United did not make an offer for Maguire sooner, despite his Nations League participation with England last month.
The MEN revealed last week United were due to make a decision on whether to sign a central defender at the end of June even though the Premier League transfer window closes on August 8.
Ferguson was in the stands to watch Maguire start for Sheffield United at Old Trafford in their 4-1 FA Youth Cup final defeat to United in May 2011 and believes he would be an ideal signing.
United sources claimed last summer they were prepared to pay £100m for the right profile of defender, citing Raphael Varane of Real Madrid as an example, but balked at Leicester's £75m valuation of Maguire.
