Man Utd manager Solskjaer: Maguire one world's best centre-backs

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Manchester United have signed one of the best centre-backs in the world.

Harry Maguire has arrived at the club for a world-record fee for a defender.

And Solskjaer believes it was money well spent to sign a player of Maguire's ilk.

He said: "Harry is one of the best centre-backs in the game today and I am delighted we have secured his signature.

"He is a great reader of the game and has a strong presence on the pitch with the ability to remain calm under pressure - coupled with his composure on the ball and a huge presence in both boxes - I can see he will fit well into this group both on and off the pitch.

"He has a great personality and is a fantastic addition to the club. I would like to welcome harry to Manchester United and we are looking forward to working with him as we prepare for the new season."
