The 29-year-old has been lambasted more than most this year, but not without good reason; rather than leading by example, the £80million man has been a consistent calamity at the back. And unfortunately, his woes continued into the international break, when the England star was inexplicably booed by his own fans at Wembley prior to Tuesday night's 3-0 win Ivory Coast.

Maguire did - at least - manage to block out the hate and put in one of his best performances of the season for either club or country - but he still looks a shell of the player that played a starring role for England in their march to the Euro 2020 final.
