England are a better team now than when they reached the 2018 World Cup semi-finals, according to Harry Maguire - with the Manchester United defender insisting the side has 'developed in a positive way'

Defender Harry Maguire has insisted England are in a better place than when they reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

England performed well at the tournament, beating Colombia and Sweden in the knockout stages before taking the lead against Croatia in the semis but losing 2-1 after extra time.

Since then they have had a mixed record, often comfortably beating European minnows but losing to the Czech Republic, losing and drawing against Denmark and suffering losses against Spain and Belgium.

But Manchester United captain Maguire underlined the team's improvement since the last World Cup.
