Marc Guehi has hailed the impact made by England defensive colleague Harry Maguire both on and off the pitch. Maguire has fallen out of favour at Manchester United and was goaded by Scotland fans after coming off the bench and scoring an own goal in England’s 3-1 win at Hampden Park last month. Despite losing both the United captaincy and his place in Erik ten Hag’s side, the 30-year-old centre-back has retained the faith of international boss Gareth Southgate. Maguire revealed ahead of the upcoming friendly clash with Australia that former England captain David Beckham had been in touch after the mockery north of the border. Team-mates have also rallied around the former Leicester defender and Guehi – who Maguire replaced at half-time in Glasgow – was the latest to praise his contribution. “He is a top professional, a great guy to have around the camp, one of the leaders,” he told BBC Radio 5Live. “I think people forget things very quickly, but he was Manchester United captain, someone who has played for England at many, many top competitions and has helped the team and the nation to get where they are today. He is a top professional, a great guy to have around the camp, one of the leaders Marc Guehi on Harry Maguire “So, let’s not forget what he has done in a hurry because he is definitely a top player and an even better person for sure.” Guehi has partnered Maguire at the heart of Southgate’s defence in two of the last three Euro 2024 qualifiers. The 23-year-old Crystal Palace defender has worn the armband for England at youth level, but is still aiming to improve as a leader. “I am very wary of my limitations of a leader I would say,” he said. “I think I have a lot of qualities, but there is definitely a lot of things that I can get better at and definitely will get better at. “Every day is a learning process, learning from the players around me, learning from coaches and try and improve those leadership qualities every day. “You can’t always be perfect. I am definitely aware of that myself. I see them in myself every day, but they are definitely things I want to work at. I know I am getting better at them as long as I keep working on them each day.” Asked what he felt he needed to work on, Guehi added: “Sometimes I can be frustrated, which is human nature and trying to work on that and trying not to show as much as possible, because I think when you are a leader people feed off that. “If they see you are frustrated that can allow them to be frustrated. So, trying to stay as calm as possible in the toughest of situations, I would say that is definitely one of those.” Read More Andy Murray to withdraw from next week’s Japan Open through injury Johnny Sexton insists Ireland are ready for ‘toughest game we’ve ever faced’ Wales star Jac Morgan hailed as a ‘hybrid’ of Sam Warburton and Justin Tipuric Brad O’Neill: Facing ex-Wigan star Sam Tomkins in Grand Final will be ‘surreal’ Danny Sapsford keen to keep growing his bright idea and put smiles on more faces Howard Webb disappointed by VAR failure to correct ‘clear error’ on offside goal

Week 7 of the 2023 college football season kicked off on Tuesday, but there's action on the gridiron tonight as well.

Melvine Malard came off the bench to head home an equaliser as Manchester United drew 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League qualifying tie on a historic night at Leigh Sports Village. On-loan Lyon forward Malard - who had also scored after coming on in last Friday’s 2-2 Women’s Super League draw with Arsenal at the same venue - netted in the 70th minute to cancel out Tabitha Chawinga’s 54th-minute opener. Two-time Champions League finalists PSG had taken the lead after dominating for much of the first half of what was United’s European debut, following their second-placed finish in the WSL last season. Marc Skinner’s side then responded impressively having gone behind, with substitutes Geyse and Malard helping them look far more threatening in attack. The second leg takes place in Paris next Wednesday as the sides battle for a place in the Champions League group stage, for which WSL champions Chelsea have automatically qualified. United - watched from the stands by former men’s team goalkeeper David de Gea, as well as England boss Sarina Wiegman - found themselves under pressure in the opening few seconds as Millie Turner cleared a Chawinga shot off the line. And moments later another PSG burst forward saw Sandy Baltimore bring a good save out of Mary Earps. As the visitors continued on the front foot, Lieke Martens headed over and Earps blocked an 11th-minute Baltimore shot with her legs, before a break in play brought about by an injury to PSG defender Oriane Jean-Francois, who was carried off on a stretcher, gave United some respite. After Earps was subsequently called into action to deny Baltimore once more, United then had their first real opportunity in the 24th minute as Lucia Garcia looked to pounce on a misjudged backpass, only to be thwarted by goalkeeper Constance Picaud. Skinner’s team looked more settled thereafter but were unable to build much in the way of attacking momentum, while further efforts from PSG saw Korbin Albert firing over and Chawinga’s strike being gathered by Earps. Skinner brought on Geyse for Jayde Riviere at the interval and two minutes into the second half the Brazil forward went on an eye-catching run and fired off-target. But soon after the hosts were behind as Chawinga latched on to Baltimore’s lofted pass and side-footed past Earps into the corner of the net. Albert fired over seven minutes later before United went close as a corner was diverted goalwards and PSG substitute Marie-Antoinette Katoto intervened on the line. Following a Leah Galton effort that went just wide of the visitors’ goal, Malard and Hinata Miyazawa were then introduced from the United bench - and four minutes later the former had the home side level, nodding in from Turner’s header following a corner. As United pushed for another goal, Turner headed goalwards in the 85th minute but it was the latest effort cleared off the line as the sides ended up honours even.
