Up in the rafters of the San Siro, England fans serenaded Harry Maguire ahead of this forgettable Nations League match.
On the eve of the game, Gareth Southgate sung Maguire’s praises with no little gusto. According to the England manager, Manchester United ’s non-playing captain is the best available centre-back on the ball.
And nothing Maguire did on this night in Milan proved Southgate wrong, to be fair. Maguire’s passing, in both halves of the field, was pretty much immaculate and that is a quality that should not be under-rated in a defender.
