After a shambolic defensive record in the Premier League last season, Manchester United's priority this summer was to bolster their defence for the upcoming season. And the Red Devils splashed a reported £80 million to secure the signature of Leicester City defender Harry Maguire, making him the most expensive defender in the history of the game. The 26-year-old is considered to be amongst the best centre-backs in the league and was one of the standout performers for England in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The 6'4" centre-back is the epitome of modern-day defenders - possessing amazing technique on the ball and offering great solidity at the back. Maguire is a great addition to the Manchester United squad and will definitely strengthen their backline, which leaked 54 goals in the Premier League last season. The Englishman signed a 6-year contract with the club, with an option to extend a further year.
