Nemanja Vidic rates Harry Maguire's improvement at Manchester United

Manchester United legend Nemanja Vidic has heaped praise on Harry Maguire, claiming he is '8 out of 10 in everything'.

Maguire is currently part of the England squad at Euro 2020 who are preparing for their semi-final clash against Denmark on Wednesday night (tonight) and haven't conceded a goal in the tournament, with Maguire scoring once in his three appearances.

The 28-year-old signed for in an £80million deal from Leicester in the summer of 2019 and has come in for some criticism, but enjoyed a stellar campaign last year.

Vidic, a former United captain himself, believes the current skipper is just missing trophies to be considered among the best in the world and rated him as an 8/10 — 'in everything'.

Speaking in his column for The Athletic, the Serbian defender said: "Harry Maguire looks confident and comfortable, even more for his country than for Manchester United.

"He’s a defender who is still improving, but if he wants to be recognised at the highest level he has to win trophies.

"When I look at Maguire I see a defender who is good at everything, 8/10 at everything. He’s not as good on the ball or as fast as Rio Ferdinand was for example, and he doesn’t tackle or head like I did, but he has quality across his game.

"He’s fast enough, he’s strong enough, he can jump and play the ball, his positioning is fine."

Vidic spent eight-and-a-half seasons at Old Trafford and won five Premier League titles, three League Cups and a Champions League trophy.

Maguire is yet to win a trophy under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but will be hoping to win the first trophy of his career by helping England to lift their first ever European Championship trophy.
