Manchester United play Arsenal at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angelesat 01:00 BST on Sunday as both teams continue their pre-season preparationsThe criticism of England 's Euro 2024 performances was "a bit ridiculous", said Manchester United defender Harry Maguire.
“Yes, performances might not have been amazing but it is tournament football," Maguire told BBC Sport, speaking on the club's pre-season tour of the United States. “From a players’ point of view from inside the camp, we managed to shut it out and create a siege mentality and proved people wrong. The 31-year-old earned plenty of praise last season for refusing to quit United when he was stripped of the captaincy by manager Erik ten Hag and at times dropped down to fifth choice central defender, behind Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans.
