Football Daily · The Commentators’ View: Tuchel’s team & texting Tielemans · 22 May 2026 podcast

But, you know, having not taken Cole Palmer or Phil Foden or Morgan Gibbs-White, I just think you just have to almost you have to trust his judgment.

And I look at that squad.

I don't see many holes in it, if I'm honest.

I think Thomas Tuchel would have looked at the last 24 hours and how Harry Maguire has reacted to his omission from the squad and feel totally justified, if I'm being totally honest.

I'm not denying and no one's denying that Harry Maguire has had an excellent season at Manchester United, certainly since Michael Carrick was appointed manager or interim manager.

Obviously, we now know he's the permanent manager.

But we shouldn't forget that during the last set of internationals when Harry Maguire was given a recall into the squad, Tuchel was clear.

He said that generally there would probably need to be two or three injuries for Harry Maguire to make it.

So for then Harry Maguire to come out yesterday confirming that he wasn't in and then making those pointed remarks saying he was absolutely shocked and gutted.

Well, you couldn't have been that shocked because he basically told everyone that you weren't going to be in the squad in March because I was in that press conference when he said it.

So, yeah, look, I get Harry Maguire is disappointed.

Of course he is.

He would love to have gone to another World Cup.

But I don't necessarily buy that he was shocked by it because...

I think all of us sitting around this table now discussing it kind of knew that it was unlikely he was going to be selected.

So if we're thinking that, then he must be thinking that.

I'm sending this voice message with a slightly hazy head.

John, I was listening to your coverage of the Bournemouth-Manchester City game when I could finally compose myself to listen.

We then migrated to the Emirates and it felt like a match day only to be greeted by a huge banner

Incredible scenes that I have never, ever witnessed and ones that I don't think I will ever see again.
