Gareth Southgate will offer his full support to Harry Maguire ahead of the World Cup.
Southgate has already insisted publicly how important he sees the Manchester United defender for Qatar. And Maguire has been left in no doubt by Southgate about how strong his backing remains which virtually guarantees that he will be picked for the tournament despite his troubles at club level.
United captain Maguire has lost his place at Old Trafford under new boss Erik ten Hag and is currently also recovering from injury after last month’s international duty. But while Southgate cannot give any guarantees beyond the World Cup, the England boss has been in regular contact with key players and Maguire knows he has the full support of his international manager.
