Gary Neville believes Manchester United captain Harry Maguire could be set for another major blow

Gary Neville believes England manager Gareth Southgate will be considering leaving Manchester United captain Harry Maguire out of his preferred starting line-up at the World Cup in Qatar.

Maguire, who played a key role in helping England reach the semi-finals of the World Cup a little over four years ago, has seen his career fall off a cliff over the past 12 months, certainly at club level. He has fallen out-of-favour at Old Trafford under Erik ten Hag, starting just two of United's first seven Premier League matches this season.

Despite limited opportunities at United so far this term, Maguire was included in Southgate's most recent squad, starting the two Nations League fixtures with Italy and Germany at the end of last month. Despite the latter continuing to defend the former Leicester City man, Maguire was guilty of committing two costly errors in the 3-3 thriller with Germany at Wembley, leaving many supporters scathing at his inclusion in the squad.
