Man Utd defender's honest verdict after Hampden Park hounding during England win over Scotland

Manchester United and England defender Harry Maguire has been speaking about the abuse he received at Hampden Park - insisting he can deal with the pressure.

Every pass Maguire made was met by an ironic cheer. It followed his introduction as a half-time sub, he scored an own goal in the 3-1 win for England at Hampden Park.

Maguire - who was strongly defended by boss Gareth Southgate in the aftermath - has been the subject of increased scrutiny around his performances over the past couple of years.

“Well, it pretty much takes the pressure away from my team-mates and puts it all on myself. It makes them play better, for sure," he said.

“It is a little bit of banter and it is a hostile environment, coming away to Scotland.

“We wanted to put on a performance and we have dominated from start to finish. We have given them a goal, which is a bit unfortunate you could say.

“But, yes, it was a great reaction from us all. We stayed calm, we stayed composed. I think it was a hostile environment.

“We knew coming here, when you hear the national anthem and the way they disrespect that, we knew it would be hostile and in the second half I got most of it.

“I am happy to go with that, don’t worry about that.”

He added: "No, I would not say I am a person who struggles with pressure mentally. I have been through a lot in the last couple of years and I have been Manchester United captain for nearly four years.

“You take a huge lot of responsibility and everything that comes with it and that is a lot of bad as well as good.

“But it was a huge honour and of course it is a hostile environment here, which is how I described it, and they piled pressure on myself. I would not say I am used to it but I can deal with it.”
