The French press believe Maguire’s lack of pace could come back to haunt Southgate with the Manchester United defender pinpointed as a serious weakness in the side. FIFAWorldCup FIFAWorldCup2022 FIFAWorldCupQatar2022
Harry Maguire has been singled out as England’s potential weak link ahead of their World Cup quarter-final clash with France.
Mbappe was the star of the show against Poland, scoring twice to bring his tally for the tournament to five in just four games. England know they will need to keep the Paris Saint-Germain superstar quiet if they are to have a chance of reaching the semi finals. In contrast to their unflattering verdict on Maguire, L’Equipe have heaped praise on Jude Bellingham and believe he could be the difference between England teams of the past. The 19-year-old has been one of the stars of the World Cup and will again be a key cog against Les Bleus.
