Maguire was said to be an alternative to United’s first choice signing Tottenham’s Toby Alderweireld who the club have been chasing for months now.

“I am confident about the presence of Harry for this season,” he told reporters. “He is a very good player for us.

“I was not surprised about his performance during this World Cup. We saw his progress during the second half of the season. He was great and played very well.

“Of course for us he is a very good player – I wait for him with impatience because we need Harry and we need also Jamie Vardy because they are Leicester.”
