#3 Sam Allardyce compares Harry Maguire to van Dijk

Big Sam believes Maguire can become as good as van Dijk

In an interview to Talksport, Sam Allardyce has likened United target Harry Maguire to Liverpool ace Virgil van Dijk. The former England manager has even claimed that Maguire could rise to the level of the Dutchman if the move to Old Trafford materializes.

He’s similar to Van Dijk, he’s very good on the ball and he comes out from the back.

Van Dijk looks a little better since he’s gone to Liverpool and I think it would take Maguire to another level going to Manchester United and bring more out of him.

Allardyce also went on to say that the English defender could cost United a lot of money, given the fact that Leicester City have the upper hand in negotiations.

It would be a massive move for him, but Leicester, they don’t have to sell.

They’ve always hung out for the fee they want and got there in the end, so if United don’t have another alternative, I’m afraid they might have to pay a bit more than they expected.
