Maguire intends to be successful Man Utd skipper after being handed ‘massive honour’

Harry Maguire says it is a “great honour” to be named Manchester United captain, with the £80 million ($104m) centre-half intending to be the man to lead the club into a brighter future.

In the wake of Ashley Young’s departure for Serie A giants Inter, the armband at Old Trafford has been passed to the most expensive defender on the planet.

Maguire has already taken on that responsibility at times this season, with the England international being recognised as an on-field leader within a matter of months of his big-money arrival.
