Maguire named in Team of the Tournament

The Reds skipper was outstanding at the heart of the defence after recovering from the injury that kept him out of the climax to the domestic season, scoring a header against Ukraine in the quarter-final and powering home his penalty in the final shoot-out with Italy.

However, many fans will be surprised there were not more United men in the best XI. Luke Shaw enjoyed a superb tournament, and opened the scoring in the final to add to his three assists, but lost out to Italy's Leonardo Spinazzola for the left-back berth.

Paul Pogba also excelled for France and would surely have been a contender for Player of the Tournament had the pre-finals favourites progressed further in the competition than the last 16.
