'It is getting better' - Maguire insists ankle injury is 'improving' as he eyes prominent England role at Euro 2020

The Manchester United defender is hopeful that he is nearing the end of his recovery after spending the last two months on the sidelines

Harry Maguire has insisted that his ankle injury is "improving and getting better" as he eyes a prominent role for England at Euro 2020.

Maguire sustained ankle ligament damage in Manchester United's Premier League victory at Aston Villa on May 9, and was subsequently forced to sit out the club's final five fixtures of the campaign - including their heartbreaking Europa League final loss to Villarreal.

The 28-year-old has not yet been cleared to return to action, but still managed to earn a spot in Gareth Southgate's 26-man squad for the European Championships, and he is fully focused on getting back into top condition ahead of the Three Lions' opening group game against Croatia on June 13.
