After concluding his record transfer to Manchester United, Harry Maguire has penned an emotional tweet to Leicester City Management and Fans.

Manchester United have paid a world-record fee for a defender to sign Harry Maguire from Leicester City. Maguire moves to United on a six-year deal with an option for a seventh year, for a fee understood to be around £80m.

“I am delighted to have signed for this great club,” Maguire said after completing his move to the red side of Manchester.

“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. I am now looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and getting the season started.”

England centre-back Maguire has been Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s prime transfer target to reinforce United’s defence this summer.

“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 – I can see he will fit well into this group both on and off the pitch.
Maguire was in Manchester over the weekend to complete the final details of his transfer and meet with Solskjaer and his new team-mates at the club’s Carrington training ground on Sunday.

The 26-year-old was Formally unveiled as a Manchester United player on Monday and could make his debut for his new club when Chelsea visit Old Trafford
