The few times that Manchester United have had to call on him, he has let them down massively, but the England manager persists with selecting him.
Former England striker Darren Bent was livid with the decision, and didn't hold back when sharing his views on the matter.
"Embarrassing, absolutely embarrassing", Darren Bent told TalkSPORT.
"I get it, [Southgate] keep talking about 'this group of players, this group of players', but I think he's sending out totally the wrong message. There are certain members of the squad who have earned the right to be there and they're not in there. "Then they are other players in the squad like Harry Maguire, whose last three appearances were Sevilla where we know what happened in that game (lost 3-0), he didn't do too bad at Forest when he beat them, then he played 45 minutes against Sevilla when it came off his head and went in. https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1661419286395785216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1661419286395785216%7Ctwgr%5Eb9d4c663e77fccb554e39d510eed8f78bdf1f9a0%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-4000880350141761645.ampproject.net%2F2305051745001%2Fframe.html"I just think he has no form whatsoever. How can Gareth pick him? For me, it's sending the complete wrong message. If I'm a player playing really well for my club side, I'm thinking 'Gareth has got his favourites, so it doesn't really matter for me what I do in that position." Related links:
