Luke Shaw has praised the character of Harry Maguire and urged Manchester United fans to accept his status as a key player for the England national side.
Maguire, 29, has lost his place in the starting line-up at club level this season but has retained the backing of national team boss Gareth Southgate throughout his recent struggles. The United captain was backed to start for England in their 3-3 draw with Germany on Monday night but failed to repay Southgate's faith with a poor performance that saw him concede a penalty and lose possession for the visitors' second goal.
Maguire's display once again raised questions about his credentials as a United player, but defensive teammate Shaw believes he still has a lot to offer and deserves to be backed.
