Manchester United were earlier linked with a move Toby Alderweireld and Maguire but they seem to be looking elsewhere following reports of interest for Brighton & Hove Albion and England international defender Lewis Dunk.
United boss Jose Mourinho was at the beginning of the season furious and negative after his wish to sign defenders failed.
This has forced the former Chelsea boss to look all out for defenders who will help stop his opponents from having the ball according to his philosophy which he never kept away from the public.
Daily Express reports that Mourinho is a big fan of the central defender who recently made his England debut against the United States national team at Wembley.
The Portuguese manager believes Lewis Dunk can be a solution to his defensive problems with other additions expected to come in.
The club are believed to have held talks with the boss to inform him of their transfer plans and how much would be made available to him in the winter transfer window which reopens in the coming weeks.
The Reds devil recorded a very slow start of the season which can be regarded as one of the worst in the club’s history and they risk to miss out of the Champions League next season as they sit eight in the Premier League table.
