Maguire will miss the 2026 World Cup. |
Before the English Football Association (FA) officially announced the 26-player squad for the biggest football event on the planet, Maguire proactively confirmed that he had not been called up. The 33-year-old center-back admitted he was "shocked and devastated" because he believed he was fully capable of playing an important role for England after a consistent season with Manchester United.
Shortly afterward, Zoe, Maguire's mother, publicly expressed her outrage on social media. She wrote briefly but angrily: "This is shameful." Not stopping there, she continued to respond to her son's post with a message of encouragement: "You couldn't have done any better. Keep your head held high."
The backlash quickly spread within the England fan community. Many argued that Maguire deserved a place at the 2026 World Cup after his impressive performances this season.
"Hopefully he'll come back stronger next season and prove them wrong," one fan wrote. Another commented: "Maguire's experience is what England need. I don't understand what the manager is thinking."
Despite his disappointment, Maguire maintained his professionalism by wishing his teammates good luck and affirming that he is always proud to wear the England shirt.
Maguire made his national team debut in 2017, making 66 appearances and scoring 7 goals. He was a key player for England at the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
