Manchester United legend Steve Bruce has defended Harry Maguire's recent form.
The former English centre half has backed his countryman to show his best qualities.
Maguire, who was measured in a 3-0 Carabao Cup win over Crystal Palace on Tuesday, would walk into most Premier League sides according to ex-Newcastle boss Bruce.
It's good to see him on the pitch as he hasn't started, he has only really started for England and played very well," Bruce said on Sky Sports.
It's really difficult situation for him because this criticism is coming from where? I can't see it from the stands, not sure where it escalates but maybe social media.
This is a great opportunity and lets not forget he is a very good player who would probably walk into most Premier League teams."
