Maguire reveals ‘classy’ Man Utd touch eight years before he made £80m move

The England international defender is now on the books at Old Trafford, but he was tipped to reach the top by the Red Devils way back in 2011

Harry Maguire has revealed the “classy” gesture made by Manchester United eight years before he moved to Old Trafford in a record-breaking £80 million ($98m) transfer.

Back in 2011, the commanding centre-half was graduating through the ranks at Sheffield United.

He figured for the Blades in the 2011 FA Youth Cup final against the Red Devils, suffering a 6-3 aggregate defeat.
