Barcelona star Gerard Pique tells reporters that Harry Maguire can help transform Manchester United into Premier League title contenders.
Barcelona defender Gerard Pique hopes Harry Maguire will help transform Manchester United into Premier League title contenders.
United broke the world record transfer fee for a defender with the £80million signing of the former Leicester City ace this summer, which was £5m more than Liverpool paid for Virgil van Dijk.
Pique was not surprised to see his former side splash the cash on the England international.
The Spaniard feels the Red Devils followed precedent set when they purchased Rio Ferdinand from Leeds for £30m in 2002.
"It happened before with Van Dijk and before about ten years ago with Rio Ferdinand," Pique told reporters while at the PokerStars European Poker Tour in Barcelona.
"Culturally they invest a lot in good defenders and Harry Maguire is a great defender.
"I hope that they can be at the top again.
