​Shaw provides update on Man Utd teammate Maguire ahead of England opener

Manchester United left back Luke Shaw has offered an update on his club and country teammate Harry Maguire.

The two Red Devils are with the England squad for Euro 2020, but Maguire is facing a race to be fit for their group games due to an ankle problem.

Shaw, who is likely to start against Croatia for the Three Lions this weekend, spoke to the press about Maguire's rehabilitation ahead of the tournament.

"Of course I think he's a massive part of this squad whether he's playing or not," Shaw told reporters about Maguire.

"I haven't really spoken to him too much about his injury. Obviously I don't want to pepper him with questions.

"Obviously he's going along with his rehab, of course he's getting better day in, day out, so there's positive signs.

"But I couldn't say when I think he will be back. Of course we would like him to be back as soon as possible but that's down to him and the physio.

"We'll leave them to do their work and primarily focus on who is fit and available and be ready for the first game."
