‘Shocked and gutted’: Harry Maguire reveals he is not in England’s World Cup squad

• Defender ‘confident he could have played major part’

• Thomas Tuchel to name his squad on Friday morning

Harry Maguire has announced he has been overlooked by Thomas Tuchel for the England World Cup squad. The Manchester United centre-half had hoped to be included in the 26-man party for the tournament this summer, which Tuchel will name at Wembley on Friday morning.

Maguire has excelled for United since Michael Carrick took over as the head coach in mid-January and was called up by Tuchel for the March international programme. The 33-year-old started against Uruguay and came on as a late substitute against Japan, when he brought a threat on set pieces.
