Harry Maguire at Soccer Aid: United star makes first public appearance since his arrest in Greece
Harry Maguire is now back in the UK and set to prepare for the start of the 2020-21 Premier League season with Man United. The English defender made his first public appearance since his Greek court drama when he was spotted at Old Trafford as a guest, attending the Soccer Aid match. The Man United star has long been a supporter of UNICEF and other charitable efforts for Soccer Aid as £5 million had been raised for the cause in the first 45 minutes of the game. Maguire watched on for the whole game as the Wayne Rooney-managed England were defeated 3-4 on penalties by World XI after the score was tied at 1-1 after 90 minutes.
England manager Gareth Southgate also revealed that he might consider re-calling Maguire for England's UEFA Nations League fixtures against Wales, Belgium and Denmark next month in October. Maguire was withdrawn from the England squad for this month's Nations League games against Iceland and Denmark following his arrest and trial in Greece. On Monday morning, Maguire was pictured arriving at Manchester United's training ground, Carrington for pre-season training.
