Former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher claims that Leicester City will be unable to keep hold of Harry Maguire.

Former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher has claimed that Leicester City will be unable to keep hold of Harry Maguire.

Maguire, 25, was strongly linked with a move to Manchester United last summer, but Leicester priced the defender out of a move to Old Trafford.

The England international only recently signed a new long-term contract with the Foxes, which runs until the end of the 2022-23 campaign.

However, Carragher has claimed that "one of the real big boys" will sign the Sheffield-born defender sooner or later.

"It's probably how long, unfortunately for Leicester fans, before one of the real big boys [comes in for him]," Carragher told Sky Sports News. "I just think it's only a matter of time - an English player as well - before he makes that move."

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer paid tribute to Maguire following Sunday's Premier League clash at the King Power Stadium, which was decided by a first-half Marcus Rashford goal.
