Roy Keane has praised Harry Maguire for his performance against USA, but has suggested that the defender has deserved the criticism he has received this season after being dropped by Manchester United.

England were held to a 0-0 draw by USA on Friday, with a number of players struggling to influence the game. Maguire was arguably England's standout player, producing several crucial clearances to ensure that Gareth Southgate's side kept a clean sheet, while also playing the ball out well from defence.

His display went some way to answering his critics after his shaky start to the season at club level, yet Keane believes fans and pundits have every right to question the centre-back.
