Harry Maguire is an English professional footballer born in Sheffield in 1993, who currently plays as a centre-back for Manchester United and the England national team. He rose through Sheffield United's youth system, making his debut in 2011 and earning the club's Player of the Year award three seasons in a row before moving to Hull City in 2014 and then Leicester City in 2017. In 2019, Manchester United signed him for a world-record £80 million fee for a defender, and he was appointed club captain within six months, a role he held until 2023. On the international stage, Maguire made his senior England debut in 2017 and played in the 2018 and 2022 World Cups as well as UEFA Euro 2020, where he was named in the Team of the Tournament. An interesting personal detail is that he was born "Jacob Harry" but legally changed his name to "Harry Jacob" at age 18 because his mother disliked the nickname "Jakey" and preferred his middle name.
