#1 Harry's Maguire's former manager tips him to succeed at United

Maguire has been tipped to succeed at United

Malky Mackay, who managed Harry Maguire during his time at Wigan, has claimed in a chat with Sky Sports that Maguire has all the ingredients to succeed at Old Trafford. Mackay said it was a testament to the Englishman's abilities and development in the past couple of years that both United and City are vying for his signature.

The fact that he’s now got two of the top clubs in the country looking for a top English centre back who’s very well established now in the England team, it’s great credit to the boy himself and the coaches in the last two or three years that have developed him.

It’s a lot of different factors, there’s a work ethic, every day you have to prove yourself. Also being grounded, being humble and listening to coaches all the way along, he’s never changed and you see the rewards of players who are like that. They’re the top top players.

For me to see him, if he stays or decides to move on, do I see him slipping into that seamlessly? Yes I do.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two.
