We round up the latest Manchester United transfer rumours on Tuesday, July 31.

Leicester City are poised to offer Harry Maguire a new deal worth £95,000-per-week to stave off interest from Manchester United, according to the Daily Express.

Leicester manager Claude Puel is confident Maguire will remain at the club, despite interest from United.

Sky Sports News reported last week United approached Leicester over the sale of the England centre-back.

It is understood United valued the player, who starred in England's World Cup campaign, at around £65m but Puel is certain the 25-year-old will remain at the club.
