Praises of the former Manchester United defender for Harry Maguire

DBasia.news –  Three newer Manchester United players performed well in their Premier League debut match against Chelsea at Old Trafford last weekend. Harry Maguire and Aaron-Wan Bissaka are tough at the back, while Daniel James scores.

The performance shown by Harry Maguire received high attention because the player imported from Leicester City has become the most expensive center back in the world with a transfer value of 80 million pounds. This price exceeds the cost of 75 million pounds incurred by Liverpool to bring Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in January 2018.

Despite high expectations, Maguire’s former colleague at Leicester City, who has also defended Man United, Jonny Evans, feels confident that the British player can achieve similar success with Virgil van Dijk with the Reds.

“Similarities in the game Harry Maguire and Virgil van Dijk can be seen clearly. Both can control the ball with extraordinary, and Maguire has a high speed that often goes unnoticed. Maguire also has good physical strength and is always ready to duel in the air,” said Jonny Evans as quoted by Sky Sports.

Evans did not doubt that Maguire could succeed at Old Trafford. He does not care about the transfer value obtained by Leicester City and insists that Maguire only needs to be judged by the performance he shows on the pitch.
