Harry Maguire has been suffering a torrent of abuse for his performances at the club for quite some time.
However, after scoring an own goal against Scotland, even his performances for his national team have gone unnoticed and the abuse has intensified.
In such difficult times, when he has received support from expected mouths, such as the English coach Gareth Southgate and his mother, zoรฉAn unexpected avenue of support has emerged.
The sun informs that David Beckham has contacted Maguire to offer words of encouragement in these difficult times.
According to The Sun, a source said the former United player told Maguire to "keep his head up."
He went on to say that receiving a text from Beckham โmeans a lotโ to Maguire after the latter was praised for the way he handled ridicule and abuse.
If there's anyone who knows a thing or two about receiving abuse for his exploits on the national team, it's David Beckham.
The former United player was constantly the victim of bullying and taunting when he played for England.
His commitment to the Three Lions was questioned, he was trolled for his fashion choices, his lack of end product for the national team and his perceived indifference compared to his club career.
His expulsion in the 1998 World Cup was the lowest point of his career in England, after which the country went crazy, even burning effigies of the player in the streets.
Still, Beckham overcame all of this to remain a key member of the national team, and even penned some memorable moments in that jersey.
He can be an example to someone like Maguire on how to block out the noise and focus on improving on the pitch.
