World Cup winner Fabio Cannavaro has heaped praise on Harry Maguire amid the ongoing criticism of the Manchester United captain.

Cannavaro says that Maguire has 'no fear' and 'takes responsibility' on the pitch. He also claims the 28-year-old works well with the United backline.

Cannavaro insists the England captain is worth the hefty price tag associated with his name but admits he 'lacks a nasty streak' like the Italian veteran, Giorgio Chiellini.
