Manchester United have warned Leicester City over their asking price for Harry Maguire.
The Mirror says United are refusing to be bullied into paying 90million for Maguire with just nine days to go until the transfer window shuts.
United have had a 60m bid rejected for Maguire, but are understood to be willing to go to 70m for the Leicester and England centre-back.
But United have made it clear there is no way they will entertain the prospect of meeting Leicester's 90m valuation of the 26-year-old, which could ultimately scupper his hopes of a move.
Maguire called in sick on Monday and missed training, with the player said to have become increasingly concerned at the prospect of being priced out of a move by Leicester.
Leicester are under pressure to reach a compromise figure with United over Maguire or risk reaching no agreement and being saddled with a disgruntled player who wants to move on.
