When Thomas Tuchel announces his first team of the week on Friday, Ruben Amorim hopes to see a revitalized Harry Maguire earn an England recall.

After being offered to West Ham after losing the captaincy at Old Trafford, Maguire has emerged as a key member of Amorim’s back three and headed the game-winning goal against Ipswich on Wednesday.

Maguire missed last summer’s European Championship due to injury, but he will wait to see if he can add to his 64 caps against Latvia and Albania this month. Maguire has helped England reach both a World Cup semi-final and a Euro final.

I’d be overjoyed for him if he were chosen. “I believe he deserves it,” Amorim remarked.

He is a wonderful man. Although his performances right now are really outstanding, I believe he still needs to get better because players may always get better.

You get the impression that he has grown as a leader, which is beneficial for a national team. I thus hope that he will play in the upcoming games.

Despite surrendering the armband to Bruno Fernandes, Maguire, 31, is still considered a significant United figure.

He joined Wayne Rooney and Jill Scott in supporting the former United player’s charitable endeavors by attending a dinner for the Michael Carrick Foundation in Manchester last week.
