'I don't understand how White isn't in the squad': ex-Spurs man Darren Bent slams Southgate's England selection

Speaking on talkSPORT radio, former Tottenham forward Darren Bent said: "I don't understand how Ben White isn't in the England squad. This is where Gareth Southgate frustrates the life out of me.

"White has played every single game for Arsenal who currently sit top of the Premier League table. I know he has been playing at right-back, but he is very good at centre-half as well.

"Harry Maguire, I get it. He's never let England down, I get that. But if you look at his form last season and the way he started this season, he should be nowhere near the squad.

"He's started three games for Manchester United this season and he's lost all three. How is he in the England squad? If Southgate wants to pick players on form… why even watch club football then?

"If you're not going to pick players on club form, just watch international games from now on then. How can Maguire be in the squad and White is not? Maguire isn't even playing for Man United."

White has been shockingly left out of England's latest 28-man squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League games against Italy and Germany.

Maguire, who has started five out of Man United's last six games across all competitions on the bench, was still called-up ahead of the World Cup.
