And once again the former Blades man has pinpointed a Bramall Lane hero who helped him in his early days which has led to Maguire captaining Manchester United.
Maguire’s career has seen him work his way through the divisions before reaching Old Trafford, starting of course in Sheffield, and he has revealed the three captains who have shaped his own leaderhip at the Red Devils.

“I love speaking to ex-captains and seeing how they went about things. I find it interesting to listen to Gary [Neville] and Roy [Keane] when they speak in their podcasts.
“But no, I think I played under Chris Morgan at Sheffield United, who I learned a huge amount from, then I was under Michael Dawson at Hull and Wes Morgan at Leicester.
“So three really experienced pros who have been up and down the leagues and seen everything really. I definitely feel like I’ve learned an awful amount from them all.”
