Should Manchester United captain Harry Maguire have been booed by England fans?

England fans have been criticised for booing Harry Maguire when his name was announced in the starting line-up prior to the 3-0 friendly win over the Ivory Coast at Wembley.

The Manchester United captain has been experiencing a torrid run of form for his club in recent months, with some Red Devils supporters unimpressed with the standard of his game all season. He was left out of his country's 2-1 win over Switzerland on Saturday but earned his 42nd cap on Tuesday evening.

The booing did not seem to affect his performance as he helped keep his 24th clean sheet in an England shirt. Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate lambasted those who jeered Maguire pre-match, calling his reception "an absolute joke."
