Harry Maguire, a center back for England, had a strong World Cup, according to Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, who pushed him to carry that success over to the club when the Premier League resumes.
Even though Maguire, 29, lost his first-team berth at United in August, he started every game for England in Qatar, where they lost to France in the quarterfinals.
“It’s clear he is good enough to play at the highest level,” Ten Hag said at United’s training camp in Spain.
“He had a period in Manchester where he performed badly and then, of course, there are difficulties. For England, he has good games almost all the time.
“We want him to bring that back to Manchester with him so he can bring it on the pitch for United.
“I think he had a really good World Cup. He was really consistent. When he is playing with his confidence like now, he is a massively important player for us and that is what everyone expects.”
On December 21, United will play at home in a League Cup match against Burnley. On December 27, they will host Nottingham Forest in a league match.
