Harry Maguire believes anything other than winning Euro 2024 in Germany would be a failure for England.
Gareth Southgate’s side got their qualifying campaign off to an excellent start with a 2-1 victory over Italy on Thursday, with Maguire starting at centre back alongside John Stones.
England are viewed by many as genuine contenders to win the Euros as they continue to progress under Southgate.
Asked if this group of England players would be failures if they did not lift the country’s first trophy since 1966 next year, Maguire said: ‘That’s my mindset. We have got to qualify first, it’s a tough group, but that’s my mindset. I’ve been at three major tournaments now and I’ve come so close. We have the players to win it.’
Maguire played a key role in England’s fourth-place finish at the 2018 World Cup and their run to the final of Euro 2020.
