Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has given Erik ten Hag exactly what he wanted with his displays at the World Cup as he seeks to put his well-documented Old Trafford struggles behind him.
Maguire, 29, and his inclusion in the Three Lions squad was a major talking point before the tournament. However, the decision made by Gareth Southgate was vindicated on the pitch.
Despite making only three Premier League starts this season to fall behind Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof in the United pecking order, Maguire started all five matches in Qatar and impressed despite one or two challenging moments along the way as England were eliminated in heart-breaking circumstances.
