Maguire has had a very topsy-turvy career following his rise to fame at Leicester City. Following a strong start to his time with Manchester United, the centre-back became a mainstay for Gareth Southgate's England team. Despite the criticism and lack of confidence throughout the last season, the 31-year-old had a strong second half of the 2023-24 season and looked likely to make the Three Lions' Euro 2024 squad before an injury ruled him out for the tournament.

Speaking with Sky Sports, Maguire described missing out on Southgate's squad as his career's toughest moment: "It was a really tough moment in my career; probably the toughest moment in my career to date really," he said. "To get myself in a position where all year I've worked hard to play at the end of the season, to play in these big games, these big games, these cup finals, and then go to the Euros to try and win the tournament for my country.

"I felt like I had got myself in a great position physically and mentally to go and perform at the highest level, and to face the setback that I did with the injury, was a really tough moment for me. When you see the Euros being played, you can't really go hiding from it all, but I have great friends, family and support around me and I enjoyed my holidays, even though, like I said it was a tough moment for myself mentally in my career.

"I managed to watch the games, they're such important games, especially as I've been a massive England fan throughout my life, so it was so hard not to be there."
