VIDEO: 'The cat motivates me' - Harry Maguire is all smiles when distracted by furry friend as Man Utd star interrupts interview mid-sentence

On Wednesday, United posted a snippet of an interview with centre-back Maguire, who was asked what motivates him. As the 31-year-old pondered his response, a cat came into shot, causing hysterics on set. The England man was thrown off his strikes but immensely enjoyed the interaction.

In an interview with the Red Devils, the former Leicester City star said: "What motivates me... we're joined here by a cat, look. That's good for the socials. Yeah, the cat motivates me."

Maguire is gearing up for this summer's European Championship, however, his build up to the tournament has been hampered by a muscle injury that forced him to miss the end of the season. He and England will hope he is fit for their tournament opener against Serbia on June 16.

England boss Gareth Southgate confirmed Maguire will miss their friendly against Iceland on Friday but it remains to be seen how much he will feature at Euro 2024.

Earlier this week, the Three Lions manager said: "Again, he’s progressing well. He won’t be involved [against Bosnia and Herzegovina]. Unlikely, I would say, for next Friday [against Iceland]. But, yeah, each couple of days that passes, we’ve got a little bit more information on how they’re progressing and how likely that is and the likely return date."
