England defender Tyrone Mings has lauded Manchester United centre-back Harry Maguire ahead of Friday’s Euro 2020 clash with Scotland. Mings took Maguire’s place in the team for England’s 1-0 win over Croatia on Sunday as Maguire has been injured with an ankle problem since early May.
Tyrone Mings said: “It’s a little bit bizarre bearing in mind how much credit in the bank Harry’s got and what a fantastic defender he is. But at the same time, there is absolutely competition for places and I think he is somebody that I look up to in terms of a centre-back and somebody that is so consistent with a lot of pressure on his shoulders being captain of Man United and being one of the main players for England. He is a person that I take a lot of inspiration from so to be mentioned in the same breath as him is a compliment in itself.”
England face Scotland on Friday in their second group game after The Tartan Army were defeated 2-0 by the Czech Republic on Monday afternoon thanks to a stunning brace from Bayern Leverkusen striker Patrick Schick.
