‘Absolute joke’: Southgate hits out at England fans who booed Harry Maguire
The Guardian says Gareth Southgate vented his disgust at the England fans who booed Harry Maguire before the 3-0 friendly win over Ivory Coast, calling their actions “an absolute joke”.
Maguire’s struggles with Manchester United had been a hot topic in the buildup to this international break and there were boos from sections of the crowd when his name was read out before kick-off, with further jeering upon his first few touches of the ball.
The defender made light of it with a composed performance, which included roles in England’s first two goals, and his manager left no doubt that he thought the abuse was unacceptable.
