Social media praise for Maguire and Shaw after England 2 Germany 0

England great Gary Lineker praised a “giant of a performance” and MUTV pundit Ben Thornley was also delighted: “I know the goalscorers and the manager will probably and maybe rightly get the plaudits, but Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire deserve special praise – immense when it counted!”

Germany icon Jurgen Klinsmann also said this on the BBC: “When I was manager at Bayern I had the Brazilian centre-back Lucio. He was very similar to Harry Maguire: when he got frustrated with things he used to get the ball in midfield and run off. He’s a positive lad, a leader.”
