Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has been named in the England squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures.

The centre-back, who was a key part of Gareth Southgate's side that reached the European Championship final last year, has been selected in advance of four games in June, two of which come against Hungary (away on 4 June, home on 14 June). 

In between those matches, the Three Lions are set to face Germany (away, 7 June) and Italy (home, 11 June) in Group A3 of the competition.

Maguire is the sole United representative in the squad but a number of other Reds will feature in the tournament, including France's Raphael Varane and Scotland stalwart Scott McTominay, who also has the World Cup play-offs to look forward to.

Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo have all been named in Portugal's 25-man party as they strive to lift the trophy for the second time, following their triumph in 2019.
