Manchester United hero Gary Pallister says Harry Maguire is a future captain of the club.

United made Maguire, 26, the most expensive defender all of time during the recent transfer window.

And Pallister thinks the Red Devils have bought themselves a strong leader.

"[Maguire] is not afraid to put his head in where it hurts, he wins his tackles, he's a big lad, a big unit and he has that presence that you need to be a captain and he leads by example," Pallister, who spent nine years as a United player, told American Gambler.

"I'm not 100% sure if he'd be a screaming and shouting captain, but you can have all different types of captains. You can have a Tony Adams or a John Terry who shout and scream, or you can have an [Eric] Cantona who doesn't shout and scream but just leads by example on the pitch. I don't know which category he falls into, but he looks a figure of authority within the side and I could definitely see him becoming United captain in the future."
