Harry Maguire has listed three captains whom he's played under that have helped prepare him for taking over the captaincy at Manchester United.
The centre-half only moved to Old Trafford in the summer but has impressed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with his leadership.
Maguire made his professional debut at Sheffield United before going on to play for Hull and Leicester.
The 27-year-old has referenced men who wore the armband at all three of his former clubs.
One being Premier League winner Wes Morgan who marshaled Leicester to their surprise title triumph in 2016.
“I think I’ve been lucky enough to play under some really good captains, really experienced players,” Maguire said on the UTD Podcast.
“I love speaking to ex-captains and seeing how they went about things. I find it interesting to listen to Gary [Neville] and Roy [Keane] when they speak in their podcasts.
“But no, I think I played under Chris Morgan at Sheffield United, who I learned a huge amount from, then I was under Michael Dawson at Hull and Wes Morgan at Leicester.
“So three really experienced pros who have been up and down the leagues and seen everything really. I definitely feel like I’ve learned an awful amount from them all.”
Morgan spent almost a decade at Bramall Lane, representing the Blades in England's top three divisions.
Dawson came through the ranks at Nottingham Forest but spent ten years at Tottenham where he played in the Champions League.
He and Maguire crossed paths at Hull where they helped the Tigers earn promotion to the top flight in 2016.
But upon their relegation a year later the defender moved to the King Power where he teamed up with Morgan.
The pair played at the heart of Leicester's defence last season before Maguire earned his £80m move to Manchester.
