Harry Maguire’s mum is furious after Man United defender left out of England squad

The defender’s brother has condemned the decision.

Harry Maguire’s mother has taken to social media to share her ‘disgust’ at his exclusion from England’s World Cup squad. Boss Thomas Tuchel will officially announce the 26-man squad for the tournament tomorrow (Friday), leaving out Maguire, 33.

Maguire confirmed his axing on social media.

This is despite him having an impressive second half of the season under Michael Carrick at Manchester United. Maguire confirmed his axing on social media, and fans outraged by the decision believe he should have been called.

In a post on Instagram, the defender said, “I believed I could play a major role for my country in the postseason this summer. I’m shocked and dismayed by the decision. I’ve loved nothing more than wearing this shirt and representing my country over the years. I wish the players all the best this summer.”

Her furious mother, Zoe, also told her, The Mirror reports. On X, he wrote: “Absolutely disgusting.”

One of his brothers, Joe, also fumed: “This move could possibly be the worst decision I’ve ever seen in my life. No words.”

Tuchel will explain his decision regarding Maguire at a press conference on Friday. The centre-back isn’t the only big name to miss out on. Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Luke Shaw and Morgan Gibbs-White are also among the high-profile omissions.

It was Maguire’s mother who ‘began to cry’ when he was recalled to the England squad in March after an 18-month absence. Speaking of his memory, the 33-year-old said, “It’s wonderful; it’s something I’ve missed. When you’re not picked, when you’ve been a regular for six or seven years, it’s difficult. I spoke to the manager and he told me I was in.

“I called my family. My mum was on holiday and she was crying. I have reached a stage in my career where there is not much information available about me. I’m 33 years old. If I play even one minute in the World Cup or every game, I’ll do everything possible to make sure this country succeeds.”

But now the only football Maguire will play this summer will be during United’s pre-season. The Red Devils are set to travel to Europe for a series of friendlies, while England will battle to end their 66-year spell in North America.
