Much-maligned by analysts and fans alike since joining the Red Devils for a then-record cost of £80 million from Leicester City in 2019, Maguire delivered another uninspired performance in Naples.
Looking like the odd man out in an England lineup that included some of the game’s best young players in the likes of Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, and Phil Foden, the centre half cost England a clean sheet by making an error in the lead up to Mateo Retegui’s second-half goal.NYSC Portal
Despite having a variety of choices available to head coach Gareth Southgate, Maguire has managed to stay an almost constant fixture of his England back line, starting 14 of the Three Lions’ previous 16 games.
Speaking after the victory, the Manchester United captain stated “I think for me, at my age as well, 30 years old now and I’m with a mindset of, if we don’t win the tournament, it’s been a failure”.
Maguire didn’t stop there though, with the centre half going on to defend his lack of playing time under new United boss Erik ten Haag, maintaining that he is still a crucial player for both club and country.
“I can’t remember losing a game for Manchester United, it must be the third week of the season. So my influence is still there. But of course I love playing for my country and in 50-odd caps I feel like I’ve never let my country down”, said Maguire.
