Manchester United will reportedly block any attempt by Chelsea to sign Harry Maguire this summer.

While Leicester City's Wesley Fofana has been shortlisted as a top transfer priority, The Guardian claims Chelsea are also interested in the services of Maguire.

However, reports suggest the west Londoners could miss out on Fofana after having two of their bids for the Frenchman rejected by Leicester

According to The Sun, the development has seen the Stamford Based-outfit shift their attention to Maguire as an alternative.

However, Chelsea could face yet another hurdle in their attempt to snap up Maguire from Old Trafford, with Man United said to be unwilling to sell the Englishman.

SunSport claims that United are keen to have the club captain within their ranks beyond this summer.

This is despite reports suggesting the former Leicester City centre-back could be dropped during United's meeting with Liverpool on Monday night, August 22.

Maguire has endured a poor start to the new season and was part of the Red Devils' squad that suffered a 4-0 humiliating defeat against Brentford last weekend.

Christian Pulisic is ready to join Manchester United

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic is reportedly keen to join rivals Manchester United this summer.

The American international has seen his fortunes at Stamford Bridge fall in recent weeks following the arrival of Raheem Sterling.

Pulisic has largely failed to live up to his billing since joining Chelsea three years ago from Borussia Dortmund, with injuries hampering his progress.
