Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is full of praise for Harry Maguire after his move to Manchester United.

The England international was the subject of interest from United throughout the summer, but had to wait until the final week of the transfer window for Leicester to agree to his £80m sale.

Rodgers said: "We lost a very important player in Harry, who was a very good man.

"What Harry did over the course of the summer was show how to conduct yourself with professionalism and respect for your club and your team-mates. He showed that good guys get what they want in the end.

"It was always then going to be a very difficult market. But the club prepared for that eventually a year ago; they brought in two outstanding young centre-halves in Caglar [Soyuncu] and Filip [Benkovic].

"We knew we had those guys there, along with Jonny Evans, who is a top centre-half. Wes Morgan as well, who is a great leader and great captain."
