Manchester United have reached an agreement to sign England centre-back Harry Maguire from Leicester for 80m - a world record fee for a defender, reports BBC Sport.

The 26-year-old is expected to complete a medical at the club at the weekend.

The deal means Maguire becomes the world's most expensive defender, eclipsing the 75m Liverpool paid Southampton for Virgil van Dijk in January 2018.
