England defender Harry Maguire never feared missing out on the World Cup despite his relatively indifferent form for Manchester United this season.
Maguire, who is no longer a first choice under United boss Erik ten Hag this season, is set to keep his place for England's second Group B clash against the United States on Friday.
Maguire said: 'I have great belief in myself. When I go on the training pitch I work as hard as possible and that gives you good preparation to perform to the best level.
