Harry Maguire says he is "devastated" to be left out of England's squad for this summer's European Championships after he was one of seven players axed by Gareth Southgate.
The 31-year-old defender missed United's final four games of the Premier League season and the FA Cup final win against Manchester City due to a calf injury.
Writing on social after it was revealed that he wouldn't be part of the Three Lions' 26-man squad that takes to Germany later this month, Magure said: "I am devastated not to have been selected to play for England at the Euros this summer.

"Despite my best efforts, I have not been able to overcome an injury to my calf. Maybe I pushed myself too hard, to try and make it.
"Simply, I am absolutely gutted. For me, representing England is the highest honour. It means everything to me. If I can’t help the team as a player, I will support them as a fan – along with the rest of the country. Go and win it boys."
On his plan for pre-season, Maguire said: "Next, I will return to the supervision of the Manchester United medical team in order to prepare for next season."
