Follow usHarry Maguire said he can deal with hostile treatment from the opposition crowd after he was mocked by Scotland fans following his own goal on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old Manchester United defender came in at halftime in Glasgow with England leading 2-0 before inadvertently handing the hosts a lifeline by clumsily slotting the ball into his own net in the 67th minute.
“It pretty much takes the pressure away from my team mates and puts it all on myself,” he said. “It makes them play better, for sure. We knew coming here, when you hear the national anthem and the way they disrespect that, we knew it would be hostile and in the second half I got most of it. I am happy to go with that, don’t worry about that.”
He shared his thoughts on his Manchester United situation, as he is no longer a starter and he lost his captain armband in the beginning of summer.
“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,” he said.
