Maguire Wants Man Utd Captaincy

Harry Maguire would like to become Manchester United captain one day, with the most expensive defender in world football determined to get the club "back to where it should be".

The Red Devils have invested £80 million ($100m) in the England international as they seek to tread a path back to the very top of the game.

A rather humbling fall from grace has been endured at Old Trafford since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer charged with the task of delivering a reversal in fortune.

The likes of Ashley Young, David de Gea and Paul Pogba sit ahead of him in that pecking order at present, but the 26-year-old has his sights set on the front of the queue.

Maguire told United Review when asked if he would like to skipper United: "Definitely. It's something I still want to improve on, my leadership qualities on the pitch and especially my talking.

"I want to demand more from the players, demand standards, but I'm obviously not concentrating on that at the moment.

"I’m fully focused on improving the team and getting this club back to where it should be."
