“They piled pressure on myself. I wouldn’t say I’m used to it but I can deal with it. I would not say I am a person who struggles with pressure mentally.

Fans troll Harry Maguire, calls him ‘Scotland’s best striker’ after scoring an own goal
Fans have taken to social media to troll Harry Maguire as Scotland's best striker following his own goal at Hampden Park.
“I have been through a lot in the last couple of years and I was Manchester United captain for nearly four years.
“It was a huge honour and you take a lot of responsibility and everything that comes with it — and that is a lot of bad as well as good.”
When asked about the constant taunting he receives from rival fans, Maguire grinned and saw the silver lining.
He said, “Well, it pretty much takes the pressure away from my teammates and puts it all on myself.
“It makes them play better, for sure. It is a little bit of banter and it is a hostile environment, coming away to Scotland.”
