Ralf Rangnick insists Harry Maguire will not be booed at Manchester United

Ralf Rangnick said he could not understand the boos directed at Manchester United defender Harry Maguire before England’s friendly against Ivory Coast this week and has insisted they would not happen at Old Trafford.

Maguire’s name was jeered when the teams were read out at Wembley before England’s 3-0 win on Tuesday night, with England boss Gareth Southgate calling the fans’ response “a joke” before several of Maguire’s team-mates spoke up on his behalf.

Rangnick said he had not spoken to his club captain since he returned from international duty, but said he retained full belief in Maguire.
