Davies has been battling it out with Clement Lenglet for a place in Antonio Conte’s starting line-up. has managed eight more appearances than Maguire, chipping in with two goals and an assist.

Ahead of the World Cup, Agbonlahor has claimed that no Welsh players would make it into England’s 26-man squad for Qatar.

Agbonlahor suggest Maguire is better than Davies

, Agbonlahor said: “I do feel that there is no Welsh player that would get anywhere near England’s best thirty players available.

“26 in the squad, four more. I’m picking [Ivan] Toney before [Gareth] Bale. I’m picking [Jarrod] Bowen.”

Welsh football legend Dean Saunders then asked Agbonlahor if he would take Davies over Maguire.

The TalkSPORT pundit first asked “Who?,” in response but then followed up with: “Maguire.”

Maguire’s form has been called into question ahead of the World Cup, with complaints over Southgate picking the United star.

He’s fallen down the pecking order in Manchester, with Ten Hag preferring the likes of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane over him.

Davies hasn’t performed as well as he did last season but he has been playing more consistently for Spurs.
