The England international has been a mainstay at the Manchester club.

Harry Maguire has selected the greatest centre-back of all time. The Manchester United player has narrowed his selection to either ex-United player Rio Ferdinand or Sergio Ramos. Maguire, an England international, has starred as a crucial figure at United since arriving at Old Trafford.

A strong centre-back is thought to be essential for any ambitious team. Many well-known players have lined up at the core of defensive units over the years, both in English football and elsewhere.

With more than 260 United games and 64 caps for the Three Lions under his belt, Maguire is well-versed in taking on leadership responsibilities for both club and nation. He has contributed to containing the clear threat posed by some of the world’s best strikers.

Inspired by some of the greatest players in history, Maguire told GOAL about his favourite centre-back in an interview with DHL Express, Manchester United’s official logistics partner:

“When it comes to my favourite central defender of all time, I loved watching Jaap Stam and Rio Ferdinand play for this club.

“I also have to say I really enjoyed watching Sergio Ramos during his time at Real Madrid, winning all those titles. If I had to pick just one as my favourite of all time, I’d probably go with Ramos.

Ramos remains one of the best centre-backs of modern football. During his peak football career, the Real Madrid stalwart guided the Spanish giants to plenty of success.

Meanwhile, Harry Maguire will be hoping to achieve such success at United as he continues to remain one of the important players.

Who is Harry Maguire’s favourite centre-back?

Sergio Ramos.

Which club does Ramos currently play for?

He is currently a free agent.
