Manchester United great Gary Pallister believes James Maddison is a player capable of taking the Reds to the next level.
Maddison was a player United considered moving for during the summer but the Reds ultimately ended the transfer window without having strengthened in midfield.
The Leicester playmaker's impressive start to the season continued against Spurs last weekend as he scored an impressive late winner at the King Power Stadium and Pallister believes Maddison is a player that would help United to improve.
“There was a lot of talk about him in the press,” Pallister told BonusCodeBets.
“He stood out in the game against Tottenham, he’s got a lot of quality and energy – and he obviously scored the winner.
“He’s the type of player who can take Man United to the next level. However, Ole needs to try his best for now to squeeze the best out of the squad he has for the next few months.”
Pallister added that he views Harry Maguire as a future captain for United following his £80million move from Leicester.
“Harry Maguire is a class act and you’re looking at a future captain of the club; a leader that the club have lacked,” Pallister added.
“I was fortunate to play under so many leaders, we had four or five who were that figure. I had Roy Keane, Bryan Robson, Paul Ince, Peter Schmeichel; there’s perhaps not the same number of a lot of them in the current dressing room. I think Harry can be that.
“You can see he’s got the leadership qualities. He’s one of the best centre-halves in the Premier League.
“The three signings have been good, [Daniel] James has scored a couple of great goals and his pace is incredible, he has space to move into – it’s been a really good start for him.
“[Aaron] Wan-Bissaka – it almost looks like he’s got spider legs that can nick the ball away from people.”
