Gareth Southgate has backed Harry Maguire's consistent ability to perform for England and insists he's proven himself someone who can play at the highest level.
The Manchester United captain has had a difficult season at club level but he's retained his spot in Southgate's Three Lions squad and is set to start tomorrow's (Tuesday) friendly against the Ivory Coast at Wembley. Maguire was named in the team of the tournament at last summer's European Championship but his club form has fallen apart this year — although his performances for England still carry some weight for Southgate.
The England boss accepts form at club level has to come into the equation at some point but at the moment Maguire still has his backing.
