According to , the terms for Maguire's £80m switch are agreed.
Manchester City were still keeping an eye on the centre-back but latest rumours named Eliaquim Mangala and Nicolas Otamendi as two men that had to be sold before he could be purchased.
That delay has let United steal the momentum and push on with their swoop.
Sun Sport revealed during the week that Maguire wanted to emulate his Old Trafford idols.
A Sheffield United fan as a boy, the defender looked up to Steve Bruce, Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand.
And he even believes he has what it takes to one day take the armband.
Paul Pogba is a surprise candidate for that role, currently unoccupied after Antonio Valencia left last month.
An unpopular choice among the fans is favourite for the honour, Ashley Young.

“Thankfully we’re in a position where we don’t have to sell.
"We don’t want to sell him. He’s a really special player. He fits how we work fantastically well."
