Harry Maguire: David Beckham call helped cope with fan abuse

Harry Maguire has revealed how a personal phone call from David Beckham helped him cope with abuse from supporters, which at times has been so bad that his family have stayed away from games.

The 30-year-old endured a chastening evening as a second-half substitute in England's 3-1 win over Scotland last month, ironically cheered onto the field by thousands of home fans before his every touch was jeered including a 67th-minute own goal.

Maguire was previously targeted by Arsenal fans when representing Manchester United at Emirates Stadium and the centre-back has faced a barrage of social media abuse after falling out of favour under Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
