Man United told to 'look at Harry Maguire' as Wolves captain Max Kilman linked with summer move
Troy Deeney believes Manchester United need a more “ready” defender than Max Kilman in the summer transfer window.
talkSPORT understands that the Red Devils have put the Wolverhampton Wanderers captain in his short list of centers for the summer transfer window.
Erik ten Hag Recently suffered the losses of Lisandro Martínez and Víctor Lindelof due to injury, highlighting the need for the Red Devils to recruit reinforcements in central defence.
But the Watford legend Troy Deeney believes that while he loves what Kilman is doing for Wolves, he does not believe the 26-year-old is the answer for Man United.
After rubbing his head as talkSPORT Drive presenter Darren Bent After reading the news of the Red Devils' interest in Kilman, he was asked if he likes the Wolves captain as a player.
“I like Max Kilman,” he said, smiling. “I just think there's a level that people can't possibly get to. I could be wrong!”
Deeney then continued to expand on his argument by pointing out one of Man United's existing players who took a similar step by signing for the Red Devils: Harry Maguire.
He continued: “Look what happened with Harry Maguire, really good at Leicester, great player, all that. Man United, what they're trying to get at is having a high line and chasing people, and you'll be very comfortable with the ball.
“Playing for Wolves and playing for Man United are two different things, so if you say there is a short list, hopefully he will be number five and there are four ready to choose from.
“But if he gets it, fair play to the boy! Same as Harry. He's got his move and he's done it very well.”
