Gary Neville believes Harry Maguire being booed on England duty could help Manchester United fans in warming to the defender.
The United captain was subjected to jeering at Wembley from home supporters on Tuesday as he started for England against the Ivory Coast. Maguire was booed by a section of supporters when his name was announced at the stadium, before being booed again when taking his first touches of the game.
The reception came amid what has been a disappointing season for the 29-year-old, who has struggled to replicate the sort of form he showed in helping England to the Euro 2020 final last summer. Maguire was also subjected to a hostile reaction before the international break from his club’s supporters before the international break, having been subjected to ironic cheers after being substituted against Atletico Madrid.
