England not winning Euro 2024 would be a failure, says Maguire March 25, 2023 Maguire says it would be a failure for England not to win Euro 2024<br /> March 25, 2023 Creation time: 01:55 pm Last update: 01:55 PM Views: 24 London, March 25 (BNA): England defender Harry Maguire said that not winning the European Championship next year would be a failure for the team after its progress in recent major tournaments. Reuters reported that Manchester United captain Maguire, who has won 54 caps, was a mainstay in England’s defense under manager Gareth Southgate, and started every match at the World Cup in Qatar, where they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by France. Maguire, who was also part of the teams that reached the final of Euro 2020 and the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup, described his victory at Euro 2024 in Germany as the only measure of success. “I think we have players to win,” Maguire, 30, told British media. “I have the mentality of ‘If we don’t win the championship, it’s a failure.’ I’ve been to three major tournaments now and I’ve come close.” England kicked off their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign with a 2-1 victory over defending champions Italy on Thursday. They will face Ukraine at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. Maguire added, “Obviously we have to qualify first from a difficult group, we came to Italy and achieved an amazing result.” “We’re in a good place. “But these big tournaments are decided on better margins. I think we played well in the World Cup and in the end, we came out of a good French team. “So it’s something we’re working on…we’ve got a lot of talent and a lot of young players coming in.” Maguire has played only 11 matches in the Premier League this season after falling out of favor at United, with Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane favored as center back Eric ten Hag, but he said he had nothing to prove. “I want to play every game for my club and for my country,” Maguire said. “I feel I’m good enough to play at a high level and he’s proven that over the past five or six years now.” “Last season was tough but I’m proving myself to Gareth, I’ve played over 50 caps… I feel like I shouldn’t really need to prove myself at this level.” M Source link Related READ MORE Leclerc pole at Italian GP, penalties boost Russell to 2nd
