Harry Maguire needs help in his role as Manchester United captain. This may sound like I’m joining the flood of criticism, but that is absolutely not the case.
Questioning whether the armband could, in the short term, be passed to Cristiano Ronaldo is no reflection on Harry’s ability or character.
I’ve been a fan of his for a long time. He’s an outstanding England international, who will play many games at the highest level for years to come. Gareth Southgate made that point on Thursday when he named him in his latest squad.
