Harry Maguire

Jacob Harry Maguire is an English professional footballer who represents Manchester United in the Premier League and the England national team.

Maguire progressed through Sheffield United's development system before making the senior team in 2011. He played 166 professional games for the club and was named Player of the Year three times in a row, as well as three times in the PFA League One Team of the Year. He moved to Hull City for £2.5 million in 2014, and he was loaned to Wigan Athletic in 2015. He joined Leicester City for a cost of £12 million in 2017. He went to Manchester United two years later for an estimated £80 million at the top of this list of most expensive defenders and was named team captain after six months. The sum exceeds the £75 million paid by Liverpool to Southampton for Virgil van Dijk in 2018, and United is hoping Maguire can have the same effect as the Dutchman at Anfield. Manchester City was also interested in recruiting Maguire, but the cost put them off.

Value: £80 million
