MANCHESTER UNITED have named their price for out-of-favour star Harry Maguire.
SunSport revealed that the defender is set to be axed as Red Devils skipper regardless of whether he leaves Old Trafford this summer.
Maguire, 30, made just 16 starts in all competitions last term – falling behind Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof and even Luke Shaw in the pecking order.
According to the Manchester Evening News, United chiefs are set to demand £50million for Maguire.
This would represent a huge loss on the £80m they forked out for him from Leicester in 2019.
But the sizeable fee is still set to put off potential suitors.

He has largely remained in Gareth Southgate's England side during the last 12 months, despite his lack of club action.
But the Three Lions boss warned Maguire in May that the situation could become untenable.
He said: "It’s not a situation that can continue forever. It’s like Kalvin Phillips, they are important players for us."
Southgate, 52, then added: "Of course the longer that situation goes on the more concerning it is and we’ve got in Marc Guehi, Lewis Dunk, Tyrone Mings . . . players who are playing well without the same experiences of club European football or international football.
"But we’ve got to keep searching for competition in that area of the pitch."
At club level, Bruno Fernandes is set to take Maguire's armband on a permanent basis.
The Portuguese ace regularly wore it in Maguire's absences last season.
