Harry Maguire on Euro 2024

Harry Maguire has defended the criticism of England's Euro 2024 performances, calling it 'a bit ridiculous' despite missing the tournament due to a calf injury. He argues that tournament football differs from club football, where fewer risks are taken and expectations should be tempered. Maguire's teammate, Tom Heaton, echoed his sentiments, highlighting the positive atmosphere within the England camp and how players managed to block out negativity. Following the tournament, Gareth Southgate resigned, amid a backdrop of fan discontent, including jeers during matches. Maguire, who faced his own challenges last season at Manchester United, is determined to contribute to the club’s success and has been reassured of his future there. He expressed the past months as some of the toughest in his career due to injuries and missed opportunities.
