England keeper Pickford: Maguire deserves better from supporters
England keeper Pickford: Maguire deserves better from supporters

England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has called for center-back Harry Maguire to be shown more respect.

The Manchester United and Three Lions man has not enjoyed the best of moments at club level over the past 12 to 18 months.

Nevertheless, his international form has rarely wavered, as Maguire shown an amazing display in their 6-2 win over Iran at the World Cup.

Speaking about Maguire to reporters, Pickford said: “Part of being a footballer is being criticized, as everyone gets criticized in football, but of course he needs to be respected a lot more.

“But Harry is mentally strong and takes it really well. I think it’s a bit unfair but his performances on the pitch show why he has so many caps for England and is captain of Man United.”

“Harry has done unbelievable,” Pickford added.

“There was a pass for the first goal, then the assist with the set-piece and he maybe could have got us a penalty.

“Myself and Harry have a great relationship. The majority of my caps have been with Harry playing in front of me and we work really well together. Our defensive record with Harry playing there is really good as well and he is in a very good moment.”
