Harry Maguire

Jamie Carragher says Gareth Southgate was correct to stand by Harry Maguire for the Italy and Germany games, but he believes the England defender's World ...

“In the past, it is something Maguire has struggled with. There is a shortage of quality England centre-backs. Southgate started Maguire in both of the Nations League games on Friday and Monday against Italy and Germany. It is also a reflection of England’s limited options. He conceded a penalty with a clumsy challenge on Jamal Musiala after needlessly giving the ball away. He had a poor season for United last term with criticism levelled at him, but still made 30 top-flight appearances.

England international Luke Shaw believes his Manchester United teammate Harry Maguire has suffered more abuse than anyone he has come across in football.

He has taken a lot of stick, probably more than I have ever seen before in football but he never hides away, he is always there. Shaw scored to make it 2-1 before substitute Mason Mount equalised and a Harry Kane penalty give England the lead late on for the first time in the game. “Look at the Euros and what he has done, people need to understand he is a big part of the England team and they have to accept it,” Shaw added.

Harry Maguire's poor performances with England haven't gone unnoticed in the United States, who will face the Three Lions in the World Cup.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR MAGUIRE: With his World Cup chances in question, Maguire now must face another difficult task: regaining his starting job at Manchester United. "Harry Maguire...

I did go and get a psychologist and get help. But there’s nothing you can do other than show up, try your best and not give in. I felt for him last night. 'Harry is going through a difficult moment.

But if I’m going to be wishy-washy, change my mind and not give us the best chance of winning, then it’s pointless me doing it.” In the meantime, fan opprobrium will rain down on his centre-half until morale improves. In the face of mounting criticism for his unwavering loyalty to Maguire, Southgate has repeatedly justified the player’s inclusion in his starting line-up on the grounds that he has “never let me down”. After being let down in almost comical style twice at Wembley, the England manager has a big decision to make. Once described as the second most important job in the UK after that of prime minister, such is the nationwide bin-fire that has been lit and continues to be vigorously stoked by feckless recent occupants of 10 Downing Street and their deviant cohorts, that the role of England manager is now undeniably the highest office in the land. More used to surfing into major tournaments on a wave of good performances, excellent results, ultimately misguided optimism and upbeat chat about who they’d rather face in the first knockout round after topping their group, it will be a different England who travel to the Human Rights World Cup in November.

Maguire has been targeted by several United fans on social media over the past few months for his poor performances on the pitch which has also led to the England defender earning sympathy from many. Maguire faces a herculean task to regain his spot in United's line-up amid formidable challenges from Varane and Martinez. The former Liverpool defender believes Maguire's time at United is all but over and he should be looking for a way out of Old Trafford. England ended their campaign in the tournament without a win with Maguire facing intense criticism from all corners for his horror show at the back. Harry Maguire seems to have lost the plot at Manchester United as his form continues to slump after a disastrous start to the ongoing season. However, the defender failed to turn a corner as his poor run continued in the Nations League.

Ex-Liverpool star David James has defended the form of Harry Maguire, saying that he should start for England in the World Cup.

Our England ladder is here as we try and guesstimate the inklings of Gareth Southgate ahead of his World Cup squad announcement.

We just hope the Walker back-three experiment is over (it’s not). We’re slightly worried about him in a pair but we’ll cross that bridge (slowly) and all that. We expect him to break through in 2023 but the World Cup will come a tad too soon. Barring JWP, that feels like a line in the sand for most of these players. We have just realised that Dier is so far the only player on this ladder who was not in England’s Euro 2020 squad. That coupled with Kalvin Phillips possibly being broken (and throupled with Bellingham being a quite excellent player) means the Borussia Dortmund man is very definitely IN. Started one game and was the first man off the bench in the other; Walker is going nowhere fast. He has actually played more minutes than either Foden or Mount in this Nations League campaign and yet he still feels like an impact sub who can ‘do a job’, which is probably unfair but we are not Gareth Southgate. Not playing for Manchester United – which is seemingly less of a problem than you might expect – but started and impressed v Germany. Seriously, if Rice is injured we are basically straight to Jordan Henderson pointing at positions he should be occupying. We list 50 players though it has to be said that anyone outside the top 35 is now unlikely to even have half a chance. Which is why Harry Maguire is not jettisoned.

Former England international Jamie Carragher has claimed that it is 'too late' for Harry Maguire to save his club career at Man United.

When I watched Maguire in the last two games, I felt sorry for him. But that is not a good look for any sports person. Now it is England’s problem. “When I watched Maguire in the last two games, I felt sorry for him…” And in his column for the Daily Telegraph, Carragher has since claimed that he sees no way back for the embattled United defender at club level. Maguire has not started a league game for United since their dismal 4-0 loss away to Brentford earlier this season, and his woes continued on the international stage over the last few days.

Harry Maguire started for England against Germany on Monday and he was spotted limping after the 3-3 draw at Wembley.

Harry Maguire must go back to basics in order to rebuild his confidence ahead of the World Cup, talkSPORT have been told.The experienced defender is e.

He added: “Manchester United fans are a bit mixed on Harry Maguire but what I would say is that he deserves the criticism and he deserves to be on the bench based on his lack of form. “It’s not the level that you want an England centre back to be playing against going into the World Cup and he may even be injured as well.

Luke Shaw says England and Manchester United team-mate Harry Maguire receives more criticism than he's "ever seen before in football".

"But also from a club respective I know the first two games [this season] weren't good enough and of course I fully understand the manager has to make decisions. But I need to work hard in training and make sure when that chance comes I'm ready. You can have people who can hide away and not want to be in the spotlight. "It's tough for him, but us as players and staff are all behind him because he's a very important player. every mistake being punished and scrutinised - comes with the territory though. Playing with no games at this level always leaves you open." "I've got to keep working hard and understand my situation, and it's up to me to keep working hard and keep training well and hopefully just wait for the chance." Is there? Isn't there? "I'm Manchester United captain and Manchester United are the most spoken about club in England, so if I listened to the noise, I'd probably be there all day, so I don't listen to it. "He never hides away, he's always there. "People need to understand he's a big part of the England team and have to accept it."

[Raphael Varane](/people/raphael-varane/) and [Lisandro Martinez](/people/lisandro-martinez/) are seemingly expected to retain their places at centre-back, although [Victor Lindelof](/people/victor-lindelof/) is also an option at Ten Hag's disposal.

Harry Maguire has received a barrage of criticism over his recent performances for club and country.
