Evans: I knew Maguire would become United captain

Maguire, of course, left Evans’s current employers Leicester City last summer to join the Reds, and was appointed permanent skipper in January following Ashley Young’s departure to Internazionale.

While Jonny wasn’t surprised to see his old defensive partner become captain, even he was impressed by the speed at which Harry’s leadership qualities had come to the fore at Old Trafford.

“When Harry signed for the club he had a decision where to go. I told him to go to United because it was the perfectly made club for him,”

the Northern Ireland international revealed during his appearance in today's MUTV Group Chat, which you can watch in full above.
