Thomas Tuchel said he was “surprised” by Harry Maguire’s decision to post a statement on social media after the England manager had called the Manchester United defender to break the news.
Tuchel chose Manchester City pair Marc Guehi and John Stones along with Aston Villa’s Ezra Konsa, Newcastle United’s Dan Burn and Bayer Leverkusen’s Jarell Quansah as his five centre-back options for the 2026 World Cup in North America.
