- United defender’s recent form not a concern for Dier
- Maguire expected to start with Dier in England’s back three
Eric Dier says he is delighted to see Harry Maguire return to England duty after the Manchester United defender was withdrawn from last month’s squad following his criminal trial in Greece.
Maguire faced criticism after struggling in United’s 6-1 defeat by Tottenham last Sunday and there are doubts over his form after a difficult start to the season. The 27-year-old has not played for England since being sent home from the last camp following allegations of a violent altercation with police while on holiday in Mykonos and is likely to be under intense scrutiny when he lines up against Belgium in the Nations League on Sunday evening. Maguire was convicted by a Greek court but denies the original charges and has lodged an appeal.
