Italian legend Leonardo Bonucci has waxed lyrical about Harry Maguire.

Bonucci, who won the European Championship against the Three Lions, heaped praise on the former Manchester United captain.

Maguire, who recently got back into the good graces of club boss Erik ten Hag, is a regular for England.

Bonucci told The Sun: “For me, Harry is an example. After all the stick and attacks he's received, he still plays at Manchester United and is a regular for England. That's indicative of his mental strength.

“Maguire is a rocky and tough defender.

“His problem is that he was paid an infinite amount of money when he joined Man United. But just because of that, can't he occasionally drop a clanger?

“He has shown that he's mentally tough, has leadership skills, personality and intelligence out of the norm.

“Just like all of us, he may have some limits but he'll be aware of them and iron them out to improve."
