Leicester defender Fuchs admits Man Utd target Maguire 'will leave'

Leicester City defender Christian Fuchs admits the players still expect Harry Maguire to leave in the short-term.

Maguire penned a new deal last week after being pursued by Manchester United over the summer.

"Him signing a long-term contract with Leicester shows commitment and the club have done well keeping him because he is massively important for our team," said Fuchs.

“But most likely a player like that will leave at some point, it's just normal, for personal reasons as well because you want to excel in your career.

“It's normal that when you play as great as he did at the World Cup and also put in constant good performances in the Premier League it obviously attracts bigger teams."
