I owe them a lot and I'm looking forward to the future." Maguire was named Leicester's Player of the Year after appearing in all 38 league matches last term, having signed from relegated Hull City in June 2017. The 25-year-old made his England debut in a World Cup qualifier in Lithuania last October and established himself as a regular ahead of the finals in Russia. He has been tipped to shine "for any top club" by team-mate and former United player Jonny Evans, who added: “Physically he’s got it and he’s good with the ball.His technique is fantastic and I think he proved that throughout the World Cup." Meanwhile, Foxes goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is confident Maguire will develop into "one of the best defenders in the world" over the next 10 years.“He’s got absolutely every attribute you could possibly want in a defender," he said. "He’s an exceptional football player, very intelligent, he can see a pass and pick it out, positionally he’s very astute and very clever."</blockquote>
