Premier League Betting: Leicester 7/1 to finish above Manchester United after Red Devils sign Maguire

Leicester City are 7/1 (8.0) to finish higher than Manchester United in the Premier League next season after Harry Maguire’s transfer to the Red Devils was confirmed on Monday afternoon.

United paid £80 million for the centre-back, making him the most expensive defender in history, as they attempt to bolster a backline that conceded 54 times last term.

The Foxes have been challenging for the top six in each the last two seasons but fans may still feel confident of putting up a fight despite losing Maguire, thanks to the signings of Ayoze Perez and Youri Tielemans.
