(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.
"I believe we have the players to win it," Maguire, 30, told British media."I'm with a mindset of, 'If we don't win the tournament, it's been a failure.' I've been at three major tournaments now and I've come so close." "Obviously, we've got to qualify first from a tough group, we've come to Italy and got an amazing result," Maguire added."We're in a good place.
"So it's something that we're working on... We have so much talent and so many young players coming through."
