When he returns to Manchester United, Maguire hopes to change his lack of playing experience from before the World Cup.
On Friday, Maguire will accomplish a big milestone for England.
As the defender prepares to win his 50th cap for England, Harry Maguire has pledged to battle his way back into Erik ten Hag’s starting XI at Manchester United.
Despite losing Mehdi Taremi for Iran’s opening goal due to a head injury, the center-half turned in a strong performance in Monday’s 6-2 World Cup victory.

He will start against the USA on Friday after recuperating from his collision as the Three Lions attempt to win back-to-back matches for the first time since March.
Maguire, the team’s captain, has fallen out of favor at United and Lisandro Martinez has replaced him. Additionally, Ten Hag frequently favoured Victor Lindelof over Maguire when Raphael Varane suffered a knee injury prior to Qatar.
The 29-year-old missed almost all of October after sustaining a knee injury in England’s 3-3 Nations League draw with Germany in September. It meant that in the two months up to the commencement of the World Cup, he only made three United starts.
However, Gareth Southgate has consistently demonstrated his confidence in Maguire by giving him the start against Iran.
He promised to fight for his spot at Old Trafford during a press conference before the match against the United States, who drew 1-1 with Wales in their opening match.
“I have a lot of confidence in myself. I work as hard as I can when I’m on the practice field, and that helps you get ready to perform at your best, he claimed.
“I’m going to fight to get back into the team, but I feel fresh and I knew the World Cup was coming up so I put in the extra shifts,” the player said. “I want to be playing every week for my club.”
Southgate described Maguire’s contribution to the England team, saying: “We wanted to construct our team on the potential of playing out from the back, Harry and John Stones have offered that wonderful platform to build on.
“That marks the beginning. They battle for each other and are determined, they defend well, and there is a good attitude among the defenders.
Although they now need to liven up on it, they take care in having clean bedding. Harry deserves and appreciates his 50th cap, which is a tremendous accomplishment.
