(Reuters) - England manager Gareth Southgate said he is willing to put his reputation on the line to back Harry Maguire but that the defender's place in the squad will become complicated if he continues to sit out games at club level.

Maguire, who helped England reach the European Championship final last year, has not started Manchester United's last four Premier League games. United have won four straight in the league since Maguire's last domestic start - a 4-0 defeat at Brentford.
