Harry Maguire has revealed that he used to idolize Manchester United’s great Rio Ferdinand while growing up.

The United captain admitted that he models his game with the former England defender, who won six Premier League and 2008 Champions League titles at Old Trafford, as well as 81 international matches.

Maguire is only 27 years old and has a way to go if he wants to emulate those achievements. But after signing with United last summer from Leicester in a £ 80 million deal, the center-back has already earned the captain’s armband and has become the cornerstone of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s defense.

When asked about his ideal defender by the UTD podcast, Maguire did not hesitate to respond.

“I’m going to go with Rio, someone I have modeled my game with throughout my career,” he said.

“When he was a boy, he was the central half of England, he was one of the best central halves of the Premier League.

“He has been a great player for Manchester United, he has won many things and I think the way he started to get the ball out of defense and the accumulation of attacks brought him into the English game and he was definitely a big influence on how that the defenders now get the ball. “
