Former Manchester United centre-back Nemanja Vidic believes Harry Maguire has to win a trophy to be considered among the best.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maguire, 28, has been the heartbeat of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s defence since joining from Leicester City for \u00a380m in 2019.<\/p>\n

Now skipper of the side, Maguire was instrumental as Man Utd reached the Europa League final in 2020\/21, and he will now contest in the Euro 2020 final after helping guide England to the continental showpiece, where they face Italy on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\n

The 36-capped Three Lion netted his fourth goal in national colours against Ukraine last week and recently held the fort as England came through a nervy evening against Denmark, winning the semi-final 2-1 after extra-time, courtesy of Harry Kane’s winner.<\/p>\n

Despite his performances at both club and international level, Vidic — who won five Premier League titles and the 2008 Champions League with Man Utd — believes only when Maguire clinches silverware will he be considered among the very best in the game.<\/p>\n

“Harry Maguire looks confident and comfortable, even more for his country than for Manchester United,” Vidic\u00a0wrote in\u00a0<\/span>The Athletic<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s a defender who is still improving, but if he wants to be recognised at the highest level he has to win trophies. When I look at Maguire I see a defender who is good at everything, 8\/10 at everything.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s not as good on the ball or as fast as Rio Ferdinand was for example, and he doesn\u2019t tackle or head like I did, but he has quality across his game. He\u2019s fast enough, he\u2019s strong enough, he can jump and play the ball, his positioning is fine.”<\/p>\n

“We always knew Shaw was dangerous in attack but he\u2019s improved a lot defensively”<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another of those who has impressed for England at Euro 2020 is Luke Shaw, affectionally dubbed ‘Shawberto Carlos’, with the Man Utd left-back so far creating the third-most chances of any defender at the tournament (nine), while he is also second in the assists chart of any player (three).<\/p>\n

Although Shaw has elicited plaudits for his attacking exploits, Vidic has heaped praise on the improvements the England player has made defensively, highlighting his positional awareness as a particular trait that has enhanced in recent seasons.<\/p>\n

He commented: “Shaw came to United just after I left. He has suffered from injuries but was one of United\u2019s best players last season.<\/p>\n

“We always knew Shaw was dangerous in attack but he\u2019s improved a lot defensively, especially his positioning and especially when his team play three at the back.”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
