'He is a fantastic player... it is a pleasure to be with him': Eric Dier lends support to England team-mate Harry Maguire after Man United centre back came under fire for role in 6-1 humiliation against Tottenham

Eric Dier has given his full backing to England team-mate Harry Maguire, though admits the pair have not spoken about Tottenham's 6-1 hammering of Manchester United.

Dier was in the Spurs team that handed down United's joint heaviest Premier League defeat at Old Trafford last week, a game that Maguire came out of with heavy criticism after being exposed for a couple of goals.

The pair look set to be in the same side on Sunday as England host Belgium in the UEFA Nations League, with Maguire returning to the fold after being dropped last month following his legal case in Greece.
