Jose Mourinho is ready to sell Marcos Rojo to finance Manchester Uniteds record-breaking move for Leicester City and England defender Harry Maguire, reports say.
Maguire, 25, has emerged as one of Uniteds top targets this summer but the Foxes are reluctant to sell and will want more than the £75m Liverpool spent on Virgil van Dijk last summer.
Mourinho is determined to bring Maguire to Old Trafford, however, and the Daily Express say he is prepared to offload Rojo to help finance the potentially world-record deal.

Argentine Rojo has been at United for four years but has failed to win over Mourinho and will look to revive his career at Goodison Park with Everton.

Tottenhams Toby Alderweireld and the Barcelona defender Yerry Mina have also emerged as targets for the Red Devils, with just four days remaining of the summer transfer window.
But it is claimed Maguire remains Mourinhos priority target, after he starred in Englands run to the World Cup semi-finals in Russia.
Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown, who won five Premier League titles at the Theatre of Dreams, urged Mourinho to complete a deal for Maguire last week.
Mina could be a good partner for [Eric] Bailly, he said. Obviously, hes not played in the Premier League before bu he actually did very well in the World Cup.
I think Harry Maguire would be first choice but that doesnt take anything away from Mina who is a good player.
Leicester City boss Claude Puel, meanwhile, has said he is confident that Maguire will remain at the King Power Stadium beyond the current summer.
I am confident about the presence of Harry for this season. He is a very good player for us, the Foxes manager said.

I was not surprised about his performance during this World Cup. We saw his progress during the second half of the season.

He was great and played very well. It was not a surprise to see him perform well at this level in the international game.
Of course for us he is a very good player – I wait for him with impatience because we need Harry and we need also Jamie [Vardy] because they are Leicester.
