Manchester United reportedly want to make James Maddison their latest addition from Leicester City, having raided the Foxes for £85m Harry Maguire in the summer.

Manchester United want to raid Leicester City for another of their brightest young talents in James Maddison, according to a report.

Just a month ago the Red Devils signed Harry Maguire from the Foxes for a world-record £85m, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is thought to be planning another raid of the King Power Stadium.

According to the Times, United will make Maddison their top target - and are willing to bid north of £60m to get their man.

Since arriving at Old Trafford, Solskjaer has favoured signing young, hungry talents like Daniel James, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and the aforementioned Maguire - all three of whom have made an instant impact at Old Trafford.

Maddison had the perfect opportunity for an Old Trafford audition on Saturday afternoon, but it was the current Red Devils that came out on top, with a Marcus Rashford penalty sealing a 1-0 win.

The 22-year-old has also broken into Gareth Southgate's England squad, but is yet to earn his first international cap.
