'I think he's a top player': Bryan Robson says 'demanding' Harry Maguire deserved Manchester United captain's armband after 'influencing' players with attitude on and off the pitch

Former Manchester United captain Bryan Robson says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made the right decision by naming Harry Maguire as the club's new skipper.

Maguire only joined United last summer, after completing an £80million move from Leicester City, but has made a big impact in his debut season at Old Trafford.

His arrival has helped to shore up United's back four, while his influence off the pitch has also made a big impression on team-mates and staff at the club.

After Ashley Young moved to Inter Milan in January, Maguire was rewarded with the captain's armband and Robson says he was the obvious choice.
