Southgate sends brutal warning to Man United flop over England future
England boss Gareth Southgate has said Harry Maguire's lack of game time at Manchester United could cost him his place in the Three Lions squad.
"I think there was good contact between Norwegian Ole Solskjaer and himself as they know each other very well, it was just a normal decision from the player that at this moment he had a better feeling to sign for Dortmund and that it would be the right move for his career.
"I don't understand all the fuss, why people are talking so much about Manchester United when there were 12 clubs interested in him and he had serious talks with every one of them."

Cristiano Ronaldo lists 3 reasons why he is the GREATEST of all time
Former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo once sparked a debate around the globe after he claimed he was the best player the game has ever seen.
Solskjaer was once in charge of Molde where the two Norwegians had previously worked together. As a result, it appeared as though United had the upper hand and could entice Haaland to Old Trafford to work for his former boss.
However, he joined Borussia Dortmund instead of Man United after pulling out of signing the striker due to the deal as they were against the structure of the proposed contract.
After spending a few years with Dortmund, he moved to Man City in the summer of 2022 and has lit up the Premier League with his goals.
