(Reuters) - England defender Harry Maguire said not winning next year's European Championship would be a failure for the team, after their progress in recent major tournaments.

Manchester United captain Maguire, who has 54 caps, has been a mainstay in England's defence under manager Gareth Southgate and started every game at the World Cup in Qatar, where they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by France.
