Solskjaer hails Maguire for impact at Man Utd

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has lauded Harry Maguire for his impact at Manchester United.

The defender, signed from Leicester City last summer, inherited the captaincy from Ashley Young when he departed for Inter Milan in January.

Maguire scored an extra-time winner in Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final victory Norwich City, and Solskjaer couldn't speak highly enough of the England international.

"Two different goals, one you don't expect at Tranmere, you'd expect the header to go in today but it was a fantastic save," Solskjaer said.

"Harry's been magnificent since he's been to the club, his leadership skills are there to be seen, today he won every header and made every challenge."
