Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher says Harry Maguire's move to Manchester United is good for English football.

United saw their first bid of 70million rejected by Leicester City and were reluctant to meet their 80million valuation of the player - until now.

Maguire is due to undergo a medical today before completing his move to Old Trafford where he will become the world's most expensive defender, eclipsing the 75million that Liverpool paid for Virgil Van Dijk.

Caragher told Sky Sports: "The clubs have agreed [a fee] and there's still some work for it to go through. There's still a bit to go in terms of Harry's medical and whatever personal things to sort out, but it is what it is.

"He's a special player, he's not a player that of course we would want to lose. He's a top-class player, he's a good man as well, and everything about Harry over the course of this pre-season, he knows there has been interest over the summer and he's been super professional."
