Harry Maguire is getting plenty of practice at delivering public rebuttals of his own status, either with England or Manchester United. He came out swinging after the Carabao Cup final and gave another forceful post-match interview in Naples on Thursday night.
It feels like a change of approach from the 30-year-old, who has had a difficult time at club level but remains a key player for Gareth Southgate's England, despite the criticism. He has become a pantomime villain in this country but recently he's become more vocal in defending his own record.
You can understand why. For all that Maguire has lost his way at United and might not be good enough to be regularly starting under Erik ten Hag, he remains a good defender and a good leader.
