Manchester United defender Harry Maguire is grateful to England coach Gareth Southgate for his backing.

Maguire appreciates Southgate's support when he was struggling for minutes at United.

"I think I've been in every single squad I've been available for, I've played every competitive game that I've been available for," said the defender.

"It gives me great confidence."

Maguire added: "There's loads of people out there now who probably don't think I should be in the squad.

"There's millions of people that think I should be.

"That's football and that's why it's such a great game because everyone has such a different opinion."
