Man Utd signing Maguire: I've never forgotten first Old Trafford game

Manchester United signing Harry Maguire says he'll never forget the first time he played at Old Trafford.

The 26-year-old first played at the Theatre of Dreams for Sheffield United in the FA Youth Cup final in 2011.

Maguire lined up against new United teammates Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard in the 4-1, and the England international says the memory will live with him forever.

"That was an amazing experience, something that put me in great stead to go on and play for the first team at Sheffield United," he recalled.

"I think it was a sell-out that day at Bramall Lane, and then to go on and play at Old Trafford for the first time was an incredible experience.

"It's something that I'll never forget and now I'm here, in my home, it's something I'll get to do regularly, which I'm really looking forward to."
