Patrice Evra says England fans should be "ashamed" for "bullying" as private talks held

Patrice Evra has hit out at fans over their "bullying" tactics in relation to Harry Maguire - just months after revealing he held private talks with the maligned Manchester United centre-back.

Maguire has endured a rotten season at Old Trafford and has lost his first-team spot since the arrival of new boss Erik ten Hag. However, the 29-year-old has retained the support of Gareth Southgate and is still a first-choice defender for his country.

Maguire has won plenty of plaudits for his performances in England's first three World Cup matches - and Evra believes England fans who have abused Maguire this year should feel "ashamed" of themselves following his resurgence in Qatar.
