Sky Sports Paul Merson on Harry Maguire: Hes a top player, playing at a really high level and playing for his country. Hes getting abuse from people not fit to lace his boots, if we are being honest. Hes never let England or Gareth Southgate down. His mental strength is fantastic

There's also not a lot of time now before the Euros. Southgate's not going to have the opportunity to give new players loads of caps and the necessary experience he feels they need before a major tournament.That's the game. Gareth knows it. As a player, if he was tearing it up for Aston Villa and someone else got picked for England, he'd be fuming. But as a manager, you come to trust players. It's the same with Gareth and Jordan Pickford, and others.
I get the sense Gareth Southgate will dig his heels in here and become more stubborn and continue to pick Harry Maguire and continue to play Harry Maguire even if the noises around that get louder and louder against the idea of him playing for England. It feels like there was a conversation between Harry and Gareth. He must have had assurances over his England spot if he stayed at Manchester United. There must have been a conversation and in the end, he didn't want to go to West Ham.I talked in the past about the way United play, with their defence playing high up and that not particularly suiting Harry. I thought West Ham was a good move for him.
