Harry Maguire has backed a new deal for Gareth Southgate after praising the England manager’s support both on and off the pitch in the past year.

The Manchester United skipper scored the second goal in England’s 4-0 Euro 2020 quarter-final win over Ukraine in Rome on Saturday night.

It continued a fine tournament for Maguire, who missed the first two group games as he recovered from ankle ligament damage.

With a semi-final against Denmark at Wembley on Wednesday night, Maguire’s season could yet end in European Championship glory.

“Yes, of course,” he replied when asked if the players wanted Southgate to sign fresh terms.

“I can only speak on behalf of myself but I’m sure everyone as well is so happy in terms of coming to the England camps and the way that he has made it so enjoyable for everyone.

“Obviously winning football matches over the last three years has really helped that along as well.

“I can’t speak highly enough of Gareth, what he’s done for myself personally and the trust and faith he has put in me.”
