Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has defended 'magnificent' teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

But Maguire's put that to bed by praising Ronaldo despite the attacker wanting to leave the Red Devils.

Maguire said: "Cristiano is a magnificent player and magnificent character to have around us. I know what it is like to have a lot of media speculation around me but he takes the majority of it.

"Everything he does is obviously scrutinised to a degree. I think this is what you get when you play for this club [due to] the size of the club.

"On the other hand when things are good you get a lot of praise. That's football, that's the sport that we play, there is a line that can be crossed and there are things we can do in this country to prevent that."
