Man City star John Stones gives verdict on Harry Maguire's Manchester United struggles

Manchester City star John Stones was in no doubt that Manchester United captain Harry Maguire would settle with England despite a lack of action at club level.

It has been a difficult season so far for Maguire who has only featured nine times for Erik ten Hag's men over the course of the campaign. In the captain's absence, Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane have become the first-choice partnership in defence at Old Trafford.

Victor Lindelof has also been chosen ahead of Maguire this season but Gareth Southgate opted to choose the United defender for his England squad based on his performances in the past. So far this faith has been repaid as the 29-year-old, alongside Stones, put in a fine display before the former had to be substituted due to illness.
