LONDON (Reuters) - Former England captain Wayne Rooney has described the Football Association's handling of Harry Maguire as "a mess" after the Manchester United captain was found guilty of various charges following a brawl in Mykonos.

Defender Maguire was initially named by England manager Gareth Southgate in the squad for next month's Nations League games against Denmark and Iceland, but was later omitted following the guilty verdict on the Greek island.
