"Makes our decision very easy": Manchester United fans react to Leicester City contract news

Leicester City midfielder James Maddison is close to agreeing a new contract, according to reports. The 23-year-old was linked with the move to Manchester United during the last summer and winter transfer windows. However, the Foxes are possible sign a new contract with the player to strengthen their side. The fact that Leicester are likely to be in the Champions League and that he could receive a notable pay rise may change Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's plans on the way of bringing Maddison to Old Trafford. United fans have reacted to the news, commenting on Twitter.

He's basically about to price himself out of a near future move to a bigger club, so he belongs at Leicester. He's a player I rate highly, but in my opinion Grealish is a better player. He's done a lot more in a weaker team than Maddison has with more quality around him.#MUFC

If Maddison does sign a new deal, it just makes our decision between going for him or Grealish very easy, actually think Grealish suits us more anyway! #mufc
