Jordan Henderson and Declan Rice slam "absolute nonsense" Harry Maguire England boos

Jordan Henderson and Declan Rice have joined England boss Gareth Southgate in slamming fans who booed Harry Maguire at Tuesday's win over the Ivory Coast.

Loud jeers could be heard when Maguire's name was read out as the Three Lions' team was announced. The defender has come in for fierce criticism for his performances for Manchester United this season, though he has continued to be a key part of Southgate's England team.

He featured heavily in the run to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018 and in England's Euro 2020 campaign, in which they reached their first major tournament final since 1966. Despite his poor club form, he kept his place in Southgate's squad for the friendlies against Switzerland and the Ivory Coast.
