Manchester United are confident of completing a £60million move for Leicester City ace Harry Maguire in January.
The Red Devils failed with two bids for the England international last summer despite the fact that Maguire was keen on a move to Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho was furious that he was denied a defensive signing and the club have made a disastrous start to the season, conceding sixteen goals in their opening eight matches.
United have money to spend after their £70m outlay in the summer and the Red Devils believe they will get their man in January, according to the Sun.
United believe they targeted Maguire too late into the summer window to sign him from Leicester but feel the Foxes have enough time now to find a replacement.
Maguire admitted last week that he is ambitious and would struggle to turn down a move to a top-six club.

Everyone wants to play at the top level, everyone wants to play the biggest tournaments in the world and obviously the Champions League is one, said Maguire.
I do want to win trophies. I want to win trophies for my country and I want to win trophies at club level.

A deal of around £60m would make Maguire the second most expensive defender of all-time behind Virgil van Dijk.
Uniteds executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, is willing to hand Mourinho significant funds despite the ongoing speculation about his future.
