Maguire and Shaw likely to start: England kick-off World Cup campaign against Iran
Manchester United have three players representing England at the 2022 World Cup.
England kick-off their 2022 World Cup adventure against Iran today, kick-off 1pm UK time.
Manchester United duo Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw are set to start for the Three Lions, whereas Marcus Rashford will be named on the bench. England should win Group B and I would be shocked if they don’t take all three points this afternoon.
We saw the tournament get underway yesterday as Ecuador beat hosts Qatar 2-0, but Ronaldo is still dominating the headlines in the Portugal camp, after he urged reporters to stop asking his team-mates about the explosive interview he did recently with Piers Morgan.
Hopefully, the reporters take the biscuit and ask even more questions! At every chance throughout the tournament because Ronaldo knew what he was doing by releasing the interview with TalkTV a week before the World Cup.
The full interview was aired on Wednesday and Thursday, resulting in United opening legal proceedings to see if they can sack the 37-year-old attacker. It was dragged out with snippets across social media as Ronaldo fell victim to cheap clickbait journalism.
Nobody is bigger than the club and Ronaldo doesn’t understand that.
It’s time to move on… and hopefully Maguire + Shaw put in a good shift for the Three Lions today. The rest I couldn’t care about!
