Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers insists the club are still to receive an acceptable offer from Manchester United for Harry Maguire – adding the club are under no pressure to cash in.

United are refusing to walk away from Maguire, despite seeing two bids rejected by the Foxes.

Their last offer was around £70million, which is still some way short of Leicester’s asking price of £90m.

United remain determined to bring in the England international but Rodgers insists until their valuation is met in full, no deal will be struck.

Maguire started and scored for Leicester in Wednesday’s pre-season friendly against Cambridge – a match where he also wore the captain’s armband.

Speaking after the match, Rodgers claimed there have been no improved bids, telling Sky Sports: “There is no real discussion. There is no change.

“Everything has already been said with Harry, it’s very simple, we are very relaxed. The clubs that have spoken to Leicester haven’t met any valuations so at this moment in time he is very much a Leicester player and you can see where his concentration is.

“Harry has been the ultimate professional, a joy to work with.

“I’m quite relaxed, it’s all ‘what ifs’ at this moment in time. There is nothing there that is going to tempt the club at all, there is no need to sell.

"We don’t want to sell. Harry is working with a fantastic group of players at a great club.”
