The staggering contract offer from the Premier League champions would have seen the England international net a whopping £70million over five years.
But the powerful 26-year-old centre-back rejected their ambitious offer and instead joined United from Leicester for £80million, a world record for a defender.
Starsport has reported that Maguire and his representatives had several meetings with City chiefs and was offered a financial package that would have seen him become the highest-paid defender in the world.But the Sheffield-born star had already decided to join United, who he supported as a boy, and ultimately signed a contract with United that is worth almost £100,000 a week less than what he could have earned at the Etihad.
Maguire put pen-to-paper on a six-year deal at Old Trafford that will see him take home £190,000 a week - a move that saw him usurp Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk as the world's most expensive defender.
