‘Man City may live to rue letting Utd land Maguire’ – Laporte injury highlights problem, says Neville

The former Red Devils defender has aired his surprise at seeing the Blues pass up the opportunity to compete for a proven successor to Vincent Kompany

Manchester City may live to regret their decision not to fight harder for Harry Maguire, says Gary Neville, with arch-rivals United now boasting a centre-half option who would have been a perfect successor to Vincent Kompany and cover for the injured Aymeric Laporte.

The Blues opted against bringing in another proven performer at the heart of their back four during the summer transfer window.

Long-serving skipper Kompany departed, but Pep Guardiola decided to keep faith with the alternatives already at his disposal.
