‘Role model’ David Beckham reached out after Hampden Park hounding, says Harry Maguire
  • 7 months ago
Under-fire Harry Maguire has revealed former England captain David Beckham got in touch with him after last month’s Hampden Park hounding to help offer support and advice.Just over two years after being a Manchester United ever-present and part of the European Championship team of the tournament, the 30-year-old defender now finds himself as the butt of jokes.Many opposing fans have revelled in Maguire’s drop off and Scotland supporters goaded him mercilessly after coming on and scoring an own goal in England’s 3-1 win last month.Maguire immediately laughed it off as a “little bit of banter” but hearing from somebody who knows a thing or two about intense criticism meant the world to him.
