Solskjaer backs Maguire to become Man Utd captain

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has backed Harry Maguire to be a future Manchester United captain as the England defender prepares to face his old club Leicester for the first time since his £80million move to Old Trafford.



Maguire will line up against Brendan Rodgers’s side on Saturday after making an impressive start to life at United, and Solskjaer says the Yorkshireman has already shown his leadership credentials.
‘He’s a definitely a character and personality that can be captain of a big club,’ said the United boss. ‘In the dressing-room he’s a leader both by performances, stature and behaviour. He's a character you'd like to follow. Some are technical leaders, some are leaders by voice, he's got the lot.
