England centre-back Harry Maguire has his sights set on trying to help Manchester United win silverware, having completed his big-money move from Leicester City.

The 26-year-old defender has put pen to paper on a six-year contract at Old Trafford, joining the Red Devils for a world record fee for a defender, reported to be in the region of £80million.

It's clear to see that Ole is building a team to win trophies.

And Maguire is looking forward to the challenge ahead of trying to help United improve on going trophyless in the last two seasons.

He told his new club's official website: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Leicester and would like to thank everyone at the club, and the fans, for their fantastic support over the past two seasons.

"However, when Manchester United come knocking on your door, it is an incredible opportunity.

"From my conversations with the manager, I am excited about the vision and plans he has for the team. It's clear to see that Ole is building a team to win trophies."

Manager Solskjaer added: "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."

Former Sheffield United and Hull City stopper Maguire had spent two seasons with Leicester, scoring five goals in 76 appearances in all competitions.

On the international stage he has won 20 caps for England and was an important member of the Three Lions squad who reached the semi-finals of the World Cup a year ago.

Meanwhile, United are 11/10 to finish in the top four in the Premier League this season and 40/1 to be crowned champions for the first time since 2013.
