Solskjaer says Maguire future Man Utd captain

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he's already envisaged Harry Maguire as Manchester United's future captain.

The £80m signing from Leicester City has already impressed this season.

And Solskjaer believes the centre-back can replace Ashley Young as United skipper in the future.

He told Sky Sports: "Maguire a leader? He does, he's already been in my head as a future captain.

"On the pitch, he's a leader. Off the pitch he's a top professional, he's vocal.

"I'm very pleased on the money we spent on him. He's one looking like we can give the band too, yes."
