Man Utd defender Maguire: I've always performed well for England

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire insists he deserves his place in the England squad.

Maguire's position has been questioned given his lack of minutes at United.

But he insists: "It's not my decision to whether I start the next game or not.

“If you look back on my last 15-20 starts for club and country, I would be happy to sit here and say I'm really happy with my performances.

“My record under this manager speaks for itself. I haven't started as many games as I like but my win percentage when I've played is ridiculously high.

“Of course there are times when I could do more and could improve.

“I can only do what I've been doing when I've come into the team, bringing positive performances.

“I've started two games this season and come on in a few off the bench.

“The manager can only watch training and make his decisions from training in the games when I get the opportunity to play.

“I'll keep working hard, I'll keep pushing, I have great belief in myself and I'm sure there will be opportunities to come."
