Wayne Rooney has congratulated Harry Maguire on earning his 50th England cap in Friday’s World Cup goalless draw with the USA, calling it a “brilliant achievement”.
In a match where few failed to impress, the Manchester United captain was the standout performer. Maguire dealt with everything that was thrown at him and was often the one heading the ball away from danger.
The past year has been difficult for the 29-year-old. After facing heavy criticism amid last season’s woes, Maguire was kept on as Reds skipper by Erik ten Hag but has been dropped in favour of Lisandro Martinez.
