Harry Maguire is full of pride being Manchester United captain.

Maguire has already showcased his leadership qualities and said he is excited about the challenge of leading manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's young squad to future glory.

“It's a great honour to be the captain of this great club," said Maguire. “I've not really felt any different or acted any different.

“We're a young group and we need experience and we have the likes of Victor [Lindelof], David [De Gea] and Juan [Mata], who are really experienced around the dressing-room.

“We need to help these young boys develop and make sure we develop into a top team and go and start challenging for big trophies."
