England: Luke Shaw praises Harry Maguire for showing 'strength and character' in face of abuse

Luke Shaw believes Harry Maguire has suffered more abuse than anyone he has come across in football - but insists England fans need to accept he is a major part of the team.

Maguire endured another difficult night after making two mistakes as England prepared for the World Cup with a thrilling 3-3 Nations League draw at home to Germany.

The Manchester United captain's name was greeted with a mixed reception as it was read out before kick-off and, despite a positive chant breaking out in the first-half, he would ultimately have an evening to forget.
