Rio Ferdinand believes England manager Gareth Southgate is placing 'blind trust' in Manchester United defender Harry Maguire ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.
Maguire, who has started just three Premier League games for Erik ten Hag's side this season, is expected to be named in the Three Lions squad for the upcoming tournament, despite falling behind Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane in the pecking order at Old Trafford this term.
Ex-Reds star Ferdinand has suggested that England's defensive issues are a 'real worry' going into the World Cup, before insisting that the lack of quality options at centre-back could be costly for the Three Lions.
