Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane has slammed Gareth Southgate’s decision to criticise England supporters for booing Harry Maguire on Tuesday night.
The Red Devils captain was booed during the Three Lions’ 3-0 victory over Ivory Coast, with certain groups of supporters aiming to make a statement that he should not be in the team based on his club performances. However, Southgate stood by his decision and highlighted that the 29-year-old has consistently performed well for England.
The England manager labelled the chorus of boos an "absolute joke" and questioned how that sort of reception can benefit Maguire or his teammates, who will consider how they could be on the end of that type of reaction in time. But Irishman Keane has criticised Southgate for giving the matter any attention.
