Manchester United captain Harry Maguire gives fitness update after worrying England substitution

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has provided an update on his fitness after being subbed off by England during their goal-packed World Cup opener with Iran.

Goals from Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka (two), Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish saw England get off to the best possible start in Group B as they recorded an eye-catching 6-2 win. It was an impressive display from the Three Lions and Maguire played his part at both ends at the Khalifa International Stadium.

He crashed one header against the crossbar before further demonstrating his threat from set-pieces with an assist for Saka to make it 2-0 in the first half. Maguire was not the only United name to shine, either, as his two clubmates Luke Shaw and Rashford made their mark with an assist and goal respectively.
