Manchester United 3rd Signing: Harry Maguire Announced by dotun4luv(m): 12:45pm On Aug 05, 2019
Manchester United is delighted to confirm the signing of Harry Maguire from Leicester City.

Harry signs on a six-year contract, with the option to extend for a further year.

Harry Maguire said: “I am delighted to have signed for this great club. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Leicester and would like to thank everyone at the club, and the fans, for their fantastic support over the past two seasons. However, when Manchester United come knocking on your door, it is an incredible opportunity.

”From my conversations with the manager, I am excited about the vision and plans he has for the team. It’s clear to see that Ole is building a team to win trophies. I am now looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and getting the season started.”


Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “Harry is one of the best centre-backs in the game today and I am delighted we have secured his signature. He is a great reader of the game and has a strong presence on the pitch, with the ability to remain calm under pressure - coupled with his composure on the ball and a huge presence in both boxes - I can see he will fit well into this group both on and off the pitch.

”He has a great personality and is a fantastic addition to the club.

“I would like to welcome Harry to Manchester United and we are looking forward to working with him as we prepare for the new season.”

Let's hope so. At least, he has been signed successfully. His combination with Wanbaska could go along way to boost United defending tactics.

We've massively overpaid and he's not a world beater, but I do think he's an improvement over what we have and seems solid in terms of fitness and mentality, not sure we have the right partner to compliment him but we'll see. Decent signing.

I think Virgil wasn't as brilliant as he's when Liverpool paid £75m for his signature. The season starts in the next few days. I think that would justify his performance.
