In England’s Nations League match against Germany, Harry Maguire put on another error-filled display, but Manchester United manager Eric ten Hag is “convinced” that Maguire can improve.
Maguire missed United’s game against Manchester City on Sunday due to injury, then on Monday against Germany, he lost the ball and gave up a penalty, resulting in a 3-3 draw.
The 29-year-old defender’s most recent poor performance ignited a new discussion about whether he should still be in the England squad with just a few weeks until the World Cup. The defender has struggled recently and is no longer liked by United.

Ten Hag, like England boss Gareth Southgate, is optimistic about Maguire’s future.
At his pre-game press conference on Friday, Ten Hag stated, “First and foremost, of course I have to coach him, I have to support him.”
But I support him because I have faith in him. He was good, I would say incredibly good, during the time I worked with him in preseason, both during training and during games.
Then he was removed from the starting lineup, but it was also due to the current center backs’ strong play.
Recall that Ramires, a former Chelsea midfielder, has declared his retirement from the game at the age of 35.
The 35-year-old midfielder took to Instagram to provide an emotional reflection on his career, which included 248 matches for Premier League powerhouse Chelsea as well as victories in the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup.
