- Whatever reputation I have, it is now at stake. I think you should always stay true to your beliefs. I feel Maguire is an important player. If we thought that more experienced players were ready to play in his place, it would be a different conversation.

Maguire is dominant in the air. He is an important player for us. I think it's worth supporting your best players, said Gareth Southgate.

Let's add that Harry Maguire played several unsuccessful matches at the start of the season and lost his place in the main team of United.
