OLIVER HOLT: Mockery of Harry Maguire does no one any good but he is running out of time to rediscover the player he used to be - when you are Manchester United captain, there is no such thing as respite

Dele Alli was in the England starting XI that played against Croatia in the World Cup semi-final in the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow four years ago. His star has fallen so fast it feels like a surprise to see his name on the teamsheet. He is the only player from that time who has lost his reputation more precipitously than Harry Maguire.

Maguire was one of the linchpins of England's success in Russia. He was a colossus at the back for Gareth Southgate's side, our own dependable, formidable version of an ambling Alp.

Goals from him and Alli helped the side ease their way past Sweden in Samara in the last eight.
