Neville lists seven reasons why Maguire proved he’ll be Man Utd hit While still “only early”, Harry Maguire showed all the “qualities” of a world-class centre-half on his Manchester United debut. That’s according to former United star and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville, who watched on in admiration as Maguire – the world’s most expensive defender – made an impressive debut as United claimed a 4-0 victory over Chelsea on Sunday. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was impressed by Maguire’s debut as the defender was named man of the match, where Marcus Rashford’s double complemented goals from Anthony Martial and another debutant Daniel James. On Maguire‘s performance against Frank Lampard’s side, Neville tweeted on Monday morning: “I loved Maguire yesterday. Top centre backs don’t sweat, look calm, don’t spend time on their backsides, win headers, are composed on the ball, cover others and lead by example. “It’s only early but he demonstrated all those qualities. No sign of the price tag or Old Trafford phasing him either!” I loved Maguire yesterday .
