Man Utd captain Maguire: This England group not settling for semifinal

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire was delighted with his goal in England's victory over Ukraine.

The 4-0 rout sets up a Euro 2020 semifinal against the Czech Republic.

Maguire, 28, told BBC: “It is a great feeling. Back-to-back semi-finals at a major tournament is a great achievement.

“I don't want to be a party pooper. We have another big game coming up. We want to go further this time than at the World Cup.

“It is a great feeling that we are here and the way we have done it shows the progress we are making. Long may the improvement continue.

“We have great belief in the dressing room. It was an impressive performance. We now have to rest and recover.

“It is hard to soak it up when you have another big game coming and you know who you are playing and when.

"The dressing room will be a great atmosphere tonight and then we will wake up tomorrow and be focused again.

"This group are not settling for a semi-final, we want to go further."
