Harry Maguire has spoken out following the criticism of his England selection despite his Manchester United struggles.
The United captain has been relegated to the bench in recent weeks by his club boss Erik ten Hag. Despite falling out of favour at club level, though the centre-back remains a first choice for national boss Gareth Southgate.
He played the full 90 minutes in Friday's 1-0 loss to Italy, a result which sees the Three Lions relegated from the Nations League top tier after failing to win any of their first five games in the competition. While Maguire was not at fault for the winning goal at the San Siro, he still came in for plenty of abuse online. And the 29-year-old has now given a frank assessment of his situation with club and country.
