Harry is happy to be a Fox

- BY JOHN CROSS

HARRY MAGUIRE admitted that Manchester United did make a summer move for him, but said he is happy to be a Leicester player still.

United boss Jose Mourinho targeted the England defender, 25, after his impressive World Cup campaign.

Maguire, however, insists he was happy to stay with the Foxes and owes them a debt of gratitude.

He said: “Going into a World Cup there was always going to be players who came under interest if they were successful, that is part and parcel of the game.

“I spoke with Leicester after a bit of interest from clubs and they reiterated that I wasn’t for sale and I respected that decision.

“They gave me an opportunit­y to play in the Premier League when I had just been relegated at Hull.

“They gave me that opportunit­y and it is a club I am really enjoying my time at. I am playing week in and week out which is important to me.

“They gave me the platform to play at the World Cup so I feel that I owe them.”
