Gary Neville has dismissed the idea Harry Maguire representing England while Trent Alexander-Arnold and others miss out is unfair, insisting the Manchester United is being picked due to his status as one of the greatest defenders in England.
Maguire gave a clumsy penalty for Germany's first goal against the Three Lions yesterday evening and was then dispossessed in defence, enabling the away side to spark a counter-attack and score their second of the night. The United captain also started Friday's UEFA Nations defeat by Italy, despite losing his place at club level.
Southgate has ignored options such as AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori and Arsenal's Ben White, both of whom are impressing on a regular for their respective sides, and denied Alexander-Arnold the chance to prove his quality in what was a dead-rubber contest at Wembley.
