Harry Maguire has now turn his attention to the fight for his place at Manchester United, where a lack of minutes could put his place at Euro 2024 in jeopardy - something he says is "too far away" to worry about.

West Ham did offer him a route to regular action in the summer - and had a £30m offer for Maguire accepted by United - but the defender said "we didn't come to an agreement" and United were happy for him to stay.

"Of course, my England career is a big priority," he added. "And so is my club career.

"I considered everything and I know, at the moment, when I have not started a game in the first four games of the season, the story comes to me.

"I finished off last season with two very strong performances for England and I have played in all five matches to help put us where we are in qualifying, so I need to keep performing when I get chosen.

"Listen, at club football, I want to play games, I want to play football. The first four weeks were hard because it was one game a week and the manager didn't select me but we have lots of games coming up now and I am sure I will play lots of games."
