Manchester United have signed
long-term target, Harry Maguire in a world-record £80 million deal from
Leicester City.
The Englishman, seen as the ideal
central defender to improve the Red Devils’ in defence, signs a six-year
contract as the Old Trafford sleeping giants continue their rebuilding process
under manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The transfer fee eclipses the £75
million paid by Liverpool for commanding centre back, Virgil van Dijk in
January 2018.
The 26-year-old also becomes the
most expensive English player but is the second most expensive signing in
English football behind new teammate, Paul Pogba’s transfer from Juventus to
Old Trafford.
The transfer of Maguire is the
third business of the transfer window for Manchester United following the
signing of youngsters Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£50 million) and Daniel James (£15
million) earlier in the summer.
The signing of Maguire by United
continues the club from the red half of Manchester’s bid to return to glorious
heights in the league after struggling for identity and EPL triumph since the
retirement of their legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson.
Manchester United finished sixth
in the English Premier League last season.
