Leicester City defender Harry Maguire has warned the game's authorities against becoming obsessed with VAR.

VAR was in use during the World Cup last summer, when an England team containing Maguire were awarded two penalties for holding in the area, and will come into force in the Premier League next season.

However, the Leicester defender does not want referees to become too strict, telling The Guardian: "It will balance out in the long run.

"I do believe there still has to be some contact in the game, because if you are not bumping into your man at a corner you are not getting tight enough.

"A little push or a nudge should not be enough for a penalty, but being silly by grabbing someone round the neck is obviously different.

"It's up to the laws as to what is deemed soft, but I don't think you can outlaw all contact in the box because that's how you defend - you get tight to your man and try to use your strength."
