Ranking The Best Football Transfers In Europe During Summer 2019/20

20. Harry Maguire - Manchester United

Whether or not you think his price-tag of £80 million pounds was a ridiculous amount, Manchester United needed some defensive reinforcement this summer and they've got that in Harry Maguire.

His performances for England at the World Cup in 2018 caught everyone's attention and his progress as a player continued throughout last season's Premier League campaign. Now he's got far more responsibility as the main man at the heart of a torrid United defence.

It won't be easy to do, but Maguire definitely has the qualities to improve their back line. Not only is he a giant and fantastic at defending and attacking set pieces, he's also got great awareness of the players around him. For a player who isn't the quickest off the mark, having the ability to read the game as well as he does is absolutely vital for him.

Despite the price tag, it's not going to be easy for him as this United side is at the beginning of a rebuilding stage. However, if he can make a powerful enough impact in his first season, he could become one of their most important players in the future.
