Gareth Southgate builds his team from the back and has a tendency to stick with Harry Maguire. It has brought him good results in other competitions but he will hope to go one step further this time by winning a major trophy as Three Lions boss.
United skipper Harry Maguire is under pressure to perform after losing his place in the line-up at club level. Erik ten Hag has rightly opted for a centre-back pairing of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez — when fit — and the results have improved as a result.
England teammate Conor Coady believes Maguire is the “same old” player when he comes away with England, and he is set to start against Iran tomorrow as they begin their World Cup campaign.
Coady insists Maguire is a fantastic player and human being.
