Man Utd could sign Marc Guehi to replace Harry Maguire as asking price revealed
Manchester United have identified Marc Guehi as Harry Maguire's replacement, according to reports.
Maguire has been closely linked with a move from Old Trafford this summer, after falling out of favor under Erik ten Hag.
The 30-year-old has made just 14 Premier League appearances for the Red Devils this season, mostly coming off the bench.
It looks like he will finally get his chance following injuries to number one centre-backs Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane.

However, traditional left-back Luke Shaw is preferred along with Victor Lindelof, confirming all but Maguire's future at the club. Given Ten Hag's backline is plagued with injuries and the departure of several players is imminent, the Dutchman is keen to add another centre-back to his ranks this summer.
Crystal Palace's Guehi has been identified as a potential addition after impressing at Selhurst Park this season.

Guehi's price revealed
Guehi has been the target of several Premier League clubs this summer, including Arsenal and Tottenham.
And while Crystal Palace do not want to sell the 22-year-old, the Daily Mail insists they are ready to listen to offers for the young defender.
Although the Eagles are expected to have a tough negotiation for Guehi, whose contract runs until 2026, Palace is in a difficult negotiation position. Advertisement

United did business with the south London club when they bought Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who cost a total of £50m in 2019.
And it looks like this time the club will ask for a similar fee. While Chelsea will also have the option to match any offers.
The Blues have attached a sale clause when Guehi leaves Stamford Bridge for Crystal Palace in 2021, meaning they will pocket 20% of any future deals.
And with interest seemingly growing around the player, the two clubs could benefit from a major bidding war this summer.
