Now, Harry Maguire’s dream is one step closer to becoming a reality. He is rumored to be breaking the Premier League’s most expensive defender transfer record. Man United spent 80 million pounds to bring in the 26-year-old player.

“Yes, we hope that some small details will be completed soon. We hope to be able to immediately announce the transfer,” said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer responding to the Maguire transfer.
