“I think perhaps United wanted to make trouble before our game,” Puel joking to Sky Sports.

“It’s not the thing to try to make trouble but I think he’s a better player for us,” the manager added.

“It’s our intent to keep him and just a few days before the start of the season it would not be a good thing for the squad, for confidence, and for Leicester football club,” Puel said.

Leicester City got Harry Maguire from Hull City with £12,33M in the 2017 summer transfer market. Currently, the 25-year-old player is on a contract until June 2022.
