'I want him to play well - without Man City winning!' - Maguire close with England team-mate Stones despite club rivalry

Harry Maguire has revealed that he is close with England team-mate John Stones despite the club rivalry between the pair.

Maguire and Stones operated in the heart of defence together throughout the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and could well be the first choice pairing for Gareth Southgate at this summer's European Championships.

The two men have been able to put the rivalry between their respective clubs, Manchesters United and City, to one side at international level, with Maguire describing his compatriot as a "good friend".
