Harry Maguire shared the profound impact of a call from David Beckham, particularly following the taunts from Scotland fans. The English center-back, who had scored an own goal as a substitute in last month’s 3-1 friendly win in Glasgow, endured ironic cheers from the crowd with every touch.
Maguire, at the age of 30, explained, “I actually had a conversation with David about three weeks ago, after the game. He reached out to me, and I truly appreciated that.”
The defender for Manchester United added, “It was extremely meaningful. I’ve consistently spoken throughout my career about how I looked up to and watched David Beckham when I was a young boy. It demonstrates his elegance in reaching out to me and sending a message. It was something I hold in high regard. It was genuinely touching.”
