SportPesa News Transfer Juice: No Maguire Man United Deal, Arsenal Tierney Bid Rejected

NAIROBI, Kenya- Manchester United FC fans excited about the end of Phil Jones and Chris Smalling lumbering around their defense will have to wait for a bit longer for England international, Harry Maguire to make his move from Leicester City FC.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solkjaer on the other hand, is looking for at least one midfielder this summer to replace Maroune Fellaini and at the same time, thrown shade at Paul Pogba, Juan Mata and Co by saying the team leads a 'leader' like Bryan Robson in his midfield.

Bitter rivals Arsenal FC have defensive problems of their own to address and their fans will be also be deflated by the news their improved £25m bid for left-back Kieran Tierney has been sent back with the stamp 'Rejected' by Glasgow Celtic FC.

He was voted the Most Valuable Player of the 2014 World Cup but Colombia star, James Rodriguez who is back to Real Madrid CF after Bayern failed to take up the option of making his loan deal permanent is keen on burning all bridges from the Bernabeu by joining Atletico Madrid.
