Despite his impressive form for Manchester United, Harry Maguire was overlooked by England for the World Cup. Maguire, with 66 caps to his name, was left out in favor of other defenders like John Stones, Ezri Konsa, Marc Guehi, Dan Burn, and Jarell Quansah. This decision came despite Maguire's strong performances towards the end of the Premier League season.Former England full-back Mills expressed surprise at the defensive selections for England, particularly the omission of Maguire. He believed that Maguire's experience and versatility could have been valuable assets for the team. Mills highlighted the importance of having a dominant voice in defense to keep the unit organized, especially against stronger opponents in the later stages of the tournament.
While Maguire may have missed out on this opportunity to represent his country, England secured a 4-2 victory against Croatia in their World Cup campaign opener. The team will look to build on this success as they face Ghana at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Maguire's future with the national team, his club form and experience suggest that he could still play a role in England's quest for success. Only time will tell if Maguire will don the Three Lions jersey once again. [ad_1]
