'What have we become?' - Jordan Henderson backs 'colossus' Harry Maguire after England boos

Maguire has not been at his best for his club side for a while but has always retained the backing of England boss Gareth Southgate.

That backing has not been given lightly either - it has been earned by Maguire playing a key role in England's runs to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018 and the final of Euro 2020.

A section of the England support clearly don't feel the same, though, with Maguire booed when his name was read out before the game against Ivory Coast at Wembley and throughout the match itself.

Southgate used his post-match media duties to condemn those who gave Maguire such a hostile reception and Henderson has now added his voice to those backing the Man Utd captain as well.

"I can't get my head around what happened at Wembley tonight," Henderson posted on his Instagram story.

"Harry Maguire has been a colossus for England. Without him, the progress made at the last two tournaments would not have been possible.

"To be booed at his home stadium, for no reason? What have we become?

"What happened tonight was just wrong. As someone who wants to win with England I feel fortunate to share a dressing room with him. We all feel the same!"

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Southgate branded those who booed Maguire "a joke."

"I thought the reception was a joke, an absolute joke," Southgate said.

"What he has done for us, the way he has performed for England, I don't get it.

"We are either in this all together or we are not."

"He is in an England shirt and not only should you support a player in an England shirt regardless, but when he has played at the level he has and put the performances in for us he has, it should be total commitment behind him.

"I don't get that at all."
