Barcelona star tips Harry Maguire to help Manchester United win Premier League

Ex-Manchester United defender and Barcelona star Gerard Pique says he hopes the signing of Harry Maguire can help his old side win the Premier League. Pique came through United's academy and made 12 senior appearances before moving to Barcelona in 2008. Speaking to the Daily Express at the PokerStars European Poker Tour in Barcelona, Pique said: "It happened before with Van Dijk and before about ten years ago with Rio Ferdinand. Culturally they invest a lot in good defenders and Harry Maguire is a great defender. "I hope that they can be at the top again. Manchester United in the last few years they have been fighting to qualify for the Champions League but they have to be trying to win the Premier League. I hope with this signing they can return to the top."
